Lunge1 - you're going to have to be versital. You might try Barkley the 1st day but don't hesitate to trailer over to KY lake and give it a try. When we go we stay off the lake and trailor every day, its no big deal. The main thing is your down there. From the State park your 5/10 miles from KY lake and a ramp is on the east side right at the bridge that will put you in smallmouth heaven - jerkbait, red crank for the boy (east side of KY Lake) crappie in the coves plus largemouth as well. Report back when you return - good luck -
