Well, I too love fall fishing but on Ky and Barkley Lakes in late September into October this place is loaded with bass club regionals and classics etc. Alot of guys come from literally hundreds of miles away to fish their respective tournies and some seem to leave some manners and/or etiquite at home. at any given time you'll have as little as 200 to as much as 700-800+ boats all fishing these events in the same day or at the same time, through the week we have practices and weekends all out war. Granted I would rather fish with them or around them running and gunning than a 40 footer coming 30 ft from me and don't get me started on jet skis in the backs of coves (where we're hiding from them), but to say the least it makes for hectict fishing at times. Now November, February and March it is blissfull especially with the size fish coming in shallow so early this year. So - October fisherman please be care on these lakes!
