I whole heartedly agree. This was our toughest trip in ever!!! Going now for about 7 or 8 yrs. And the only thing to compare was maybe a fall trip about 5 yrs ago. The only bite was in the back. I fished the backs so hard I could almost predict which bush a fish would be in. A few on spinnerbait out infront when the cloud would finally sneek out but flippin and pitchin' was it for my dad and me. Thanks to offdtop for the help on what to throw just about all on a crawl. I must be a terrible fishermen because I couldn't find the right leadin banks,of course didn't want to try very much. That's not what I waitted all year for! Found I lot of fish at all levels but couldn't get them to bite. Barkley looked like chocolate milk Sat. when we put in. Cleared up nice throught out the week, love the color bye the end. Got a 5.7, 3.4, 3.1 and several 2-3s, but definetly no number comparsion from yrs past. Only 16 to 25 fish aday and that is a SUPER LOW # for barkley for this time normally, it was so dishearting/disappointing. Ramps REALLY crowded when we got there and about Tues. or wed. dead, including all the hotels around us and ours had several cancels. We stayed this was our yearly vacation and I still rather be there than back home workin'.
