    Re: Kentucky/Barkley lakes closed????

    Sorry no pun intended,their is an ABA T div 41,scheduled for port road on sat,had wondered if it would be cancelled.
    As for closing the lake,it is under emergency control id say at a guess since much of the state is.
    There was no sign of that happening next to their facility,pic shows two boats and second one is about a cast length away ,its behind that tree line.
    Another I took showed their tug ,at their dock,I do however understand why they would due to the water around many homes and possible damage.
    As for the remark about the wake ive seen several blast into coves,again possibly a reason to close the lake.

    Yes its official
    The Tennessee River has been closed to recreational boaters from Paducah, Ky., to the Alabama border because of record high water levels and excessive river drift.

    The U.S. Coast Guard said that no recreational vessels are allowed from the mouth of the Tennessee to Pickwick Landing, Tenn., a stretch of 206 miles.
    That pic sure didnt show that happening was taken about 30 min prior to my post,my apologies.

    I just got the same call The USA Bassin 2nd Chance Tournament is Cancelled. Was told both lakes will be closed and anyone caught on them would be fined. If you have prepaid for this Tournament I will send out refund checks on Friday. Thanks for your time and lets hope the water goes down soon. Thanks John Newton
