One of the guys who had a boat and was not familiar with the lake really had trouble getting across the lake at Moors’ it can be confusing. If you stay at the Bel Air Hotel as Dave talked about you also have a Ponderosa with a really good salad bar close. It is fairly close to Moors' also.

I normally camp at Canal Campground and launch on the land between the lakes side so I don't have to cross the lake. Low water levels is part of it but high wind can be a factor as well. I have fished KYL and Barkley a fair amount and understand what low water means on these lakes.

If I thought I'd spend +60% of my time fishing the east side of Kentucky then I might be tempted to just launch on that side at the ramp near the 68 bridge. I might even stay at Barkley lodge. I think the drive is maybe 10 miles but I'm guessing.

If the bite is generally better on the west side or just as good as the east side, then a cabin at the Moores would be a great idea.
