    Re: Which lakes are most affected by falling water?

    Last year Barren was way over summer pool from May-August. It prodiced some great fish for me. When it was up and the bottom was being pulled out of it fish loaded up on points. You just had to fish the original shore line like many have stated. I fished in the 8-12ft range all year last year and caught fish. I have never seen that much current at Barren. Just had to find a point with the right current break and you would generally find a load of fish.

    Just remember, right now fish have two things on there mind. Eating to support their eggs, and laying their eggs. Try not to over analize it too much.

    Re: Which lakes are most affected by falling water?

    I generally fish in that range year around down on that lake but just in general in any lake, other than Kentucky Lake, when they are generating a lot I usually have a tough time putting some type of pattern together.. I know you have to let the fish tell you what they want but from my experience I can usually catch a handful of fish throwin a crankbait but I never get a good bite and when I slow it down and throw a jig or shakeyhead I can never get that quality bite.. It may be because I haven't pulled out far enough and I am fishing right above the old shoreline that the fish are staging at.. I plan on throwing something a little smaller than I usually do to locate the fish and then if I can find a certain depth then I can upsize my presentation and hopefully the size of the fish as well..

    I appreciate all the info guys..
