that's the way it was today, try a little of everything but all the fish i caught were 7 to 10 .deep very close to cover on a lizard. Fishing it as slow as i could. The hits were very light.

I fished Sat through Tuesday and had decent luck. Caught several nice bass on top water and had a couple real decent ones break me off. Experimented with some different line and lesson learned. Fish I caught were shallow (close to deeper water) and they were caught on a slow moving chug bug/pop r. Could not get them to touch soft plastics or a jig and had to be real patient with the top water but they were aggressive when they decided to strike. I pulled the hooks from deep in their gullet several times. Water fell a half a foot a day the whole time I was there and seemed pretty clear.

Sorry it took me a few days to get to this, been real busy....however, we did hit Barren this last memorial day Monday. We had a great day, and boated several keepers, largest around 4 lbs. We went up Skaggs and hit all the coves and creeks we came across. What seemed to work for us was heading to the backs of the coves were the water was around 7-9ft deep. We threw cranks that dove around 4-6 ft, and had the most luck on sexy shad and bluegill patterned cranks. We hit the first cove, and I limitted out in about 10 min! It was fast and furious! I would say I would have ended up with a 15-16lb bag. Lots of fun. I also caught two hybrids while cranking that each went around 4lbs. Man they fight! The water looked great, and the debry was minimal. Hoping to head back out this next week. Good luck to all!
