What's KY and Barkley like?

[GeoFisher]

I had a real nice morning this morning on North Barkley throwing a swimbait. No monsters, but had 20 fish or so by the time I left to go back and get my wife.

I'm still in the room but getting ready to head to the Cabin for baits, and then headed back out......TORN between North Barkley and headed to some magic spots on KY......

Probably KY since we're going to the Brass Lantern for dinner.

I'm so glad to be back........

Later,

Magic Spots on KY Lake. WE stuck some fish. Again no monsters, but did manage to put 30 or so total for the day. NOT bad.

There are some spots where the shad are STACKED up. In one particular bay within a bigger bay, we watched bass pound on shad for an hour or so. Sometimes we'd catch a couple really quick and then they'd be gone for 10 - 20 minutes.......then they'd be back for some more pounding.

I caught fish on swimbaits, red eye shad, and the good ole sammy.

My wife struggled, getting hooked up a couple times but not landing any fish. In reality, she only fished for probably 1 hr collectively the whole day. She'd pick up her book and read until I caught 3-4 in a row, and then by that time they were already back down . No matter, she still had fun......

Not sure what I'm doing tomorrow.........Barkley, or KY..........or Donaldson Creek........****, I'm torn.

Later,

Geo

I fished Barkley Saturday morning and afternoon. I found schooling bass in the mouths of bays and in the backs of the bays. The bigger fish were at the mouth. Didn't see as much surface activity from the bass, but the shad were everywhere flipping on top letting me know they were there.

I should have hit up KY Lake, but was in the little duck boat and the wind looked a little strong on KY.
