Anybody hit BRL this weekend?

Hopefully warm rain this week will turn them on, bass, crappie, and others. I just have no concept as to what is under the water when the lake is at winter pool. All my spots are high and dry.

I had the discussion with my dad about the fact that if you were to place brush or attractors for this time of year they would be useless for any other time becuase they would be too deep with the lake up.

It will happen in the next couple weeks. Fish will start to move up. Remember only that first foot or two is in the mid 40's but once you get deeper it's still much colder. Once the sunshines and the days get longer and the rains come in it will warm up and the bite will be on. Just because they caught them at lay lake at the classic with two days of warming doesn't mean that will happen around here. they have one key ingrediant there that we don't at Barren...."GRASS".

Exactly! I went to one of my favorite creeks on Monday and just stared at my favorite standing timber HIGH AND DRY! I then realized......I had no idea where to fish during winter pool! lol! I gave it my all none the less. Can't wait for some warm rains!

It took 13 1/2 lbs to win a 3 fish bass tourney Sunday. My partner went yesterday and caught around 15. I had 21 keeper crappie in two hours this evening. I thought the bite was pretty good. Are y'all onb the same Barren River Lake??

Heard that the winning sacks are being taken WAY up the river, to the point that one guy took a jon and an outboard jet to get up there. I fished all day around Skaggs, and I wasn't alone.....didn't see one boat hook up with anything. Guess I should have gone crappie fishing.

Like I said, I am at a loss for where to (crappie) fish with the lake at winter pool. I do remember last year some reports of fish being caught up beaver and skaggs creek early on.
