Good luck to you. I fished a tournament out of Barkley State Park on Saturday and there were 22 bags over 16lbs, winning weight was 22lbs 14 oz, Big Fish was 8lbs, 3oz (I think there were 112 boats in the field). I know at least a few of these boats made the long run to KY Lake. Most people seemed to agree that the early bite was critical. Bluebird skies seemed to make it tough after 9:00AM. We didn't have much luck, only 2 keepers, 1 was 4 3/4 lbs and another 5 1/2lbs. Couldn't get the three more keepers we needed to get into the money. Several short fish later in the day. Still was a great day on the lake with my Dad.
