great place to grab a meal on Barren River

Thinking about heading down there Monday and was wondering if anyone had any recent bass reports on Barren. Just a report, I'm not asking for any honey holes. I hate to drive 2+ hours to get there only to find the bass shut down. I fished Herrington friday night and had 5 keepers (just keepers) took 9+pounds to win and 8+ to money, pretty slow for everyone on the bigger fish.
Thanks in advance,

Fish around wood/boat docks. Worm mostly, and buzzbait early and late. Water temp a little over 70. Hybrid bite midnight to 3AM on the shale banks.

What kind of lures or bait would you use for the hybrid?

I can attest to three. The Mann's Suspending Jerk(8+) in chrome, a chrome 5" Redfin, and a Mann's minus 1(or 1 minus) in Gray Ghost color. I also nabbed one on a buzzbait, but was fishing for bass at the time.

Where abouts is Pedigo's located - I've never heard of it.

As far as a report goes, I was on the water for about 4 hours on Saturday. Pitched a baby brush hog all morning and caught 6 total. 2 were short and the others were in the 2-3 1/2 lb range. They were all in shallow pockets around stumps.

I was up in hicks hollow and saw a few bass bedding. I saw a monster in a little grass bed that was well over 10, but it turned out to be a carp

I talked to Jesse last night and he is catching some nice 18 inch class fish. All of them had wear on their tales.. like they were building nests. I am guessing the next full moon is the spawning moon for bass this year for the majority of fish in the state lakes, unless things get dicey with the temps. Fish seem to be ready but these night temps of 40 to 50 are really slowing them down and making them think twice.
