I think you will do good in the bays. I definitely don't think the spawn is over. The heavy repeated rains kept the water temps from rising too much at a steady pace. It is just now getting stabalized and the water temps are starting to rise. I think the next couple of weeks should be great. I was doing fairly well on points, but when the lakes got below 359, they stopped pulling and killed the current, so they are starting to move back up off the points. I had a good day Sunday in the backs of bays right off of the creek channels around cover. No Monsters, but good solid keepers. I still think a slow post spawn pattern on ditches and drops wouldn't be bad during the time here.

I fished Ky. and South Ky. Sunday but both of my keepers came on a jig on north Ky. my boater had one keeper on South Ky.
all of the good fish or most of the good fish were caught on Barkley.
