Boys this makes me feel better about what I'll doing, hearing others having trouble there to. but on the other hand I sure don't like hearing all these bad reports of Barren. Man I'll just started bassing lakes two years ago and I'll tell ya that 1st year I had a lot of empy trips. Than last year I'll have two or three fish every time I went out, mostly short fish. So far this year I'll been to Barren four times and caught one or two fish each time with one being a five, and another about a four two weeks ago ago with four short fish.Went yesterday and talked to three boats coming in as I was going out and they said it was slow. I fished about three hours and found a spot I was getting some good hits on plastic fishing real slow and had on one good fish that got of.Guys this board has helped me a lot but I need to try to learn a little about another lake. The boy and I took the old mustang up to somerset last Sat., that why I didn't get to go fishing last week, and we drove by and looked at Green. I need to get up there and check that job out.

The recent rains have things sort of messed up. They had been holding the water the past few weeks during the week, and pulling the plug on Firday. This changes things drastically. As far as I know, discharge yesterday was only around 500, and if its like that today you will see some better weights. Yesterday was no amazing day from the reports I got, but 5 keepers was not out of the question. FOM West KY division has an event there today, we will see what the results are around 4 PM. Hopefully, with all the rain they received, they did not pull the plug today...

Keep in mind, Barren gets this way this time every year. Mid to late April is terrible. It will re-bound. About three weeks ago it was on fire. Barren has a weird spawn transition, it about shuts the lake down as far as Bass Fishing.
