I don't think I can give you any better advice than Dave Stewart but to make this a little more pleasant for you I'll put in my 2 cents for you. Take it if you want it.

I've been down to Barkley the last three weekends and it's been slow. Maybe it's me or the places that I fish but with the water as low as it is it's been slow. I can't speak about Ky because i haven't been over there. I fished a throw together tourney this past weekend and the winning weight was 2 fish that totaled 7.6, one 4.4 and one 3.2. All the fish caught came on cranks in 8-10 ft of water on main lake points, all this info, again, can be found on Dave Stewarts fishing report and he does a more concise job than I do. I hope this is what you needed, hopefully this has eased the tension of no replies. If not than I suggest you stay at home.
