The past few years I have fished north barkley at this time and had luck with texas rigged lizards, spinnerbaits, and flukes fished shallow in wood cover and or weeds (not always present every year). If I cant get bit this way I back up to lead-in (deeper banks) and fish crankbaits and plastics down to about 11 ft of water. Usually catch good numbers with nice kicker fish here and there. Good luck!! We normally take our spring trip to LBL a this time but instead went to Wheeler 3 wks ago due to wife and I expecting soon.
