KY/Barkley Lake Help

[big wormy]

Man be careful the Rengade Classic is Thur - Sat. Will have around 200 boats and are putting in a N. Barkley. You will have lot's of company in the north bays on Thur and Fri. Sat the field is cut way down. Most of these guys are good ol boys but you know there is always a few..... I would suggest going below the 68 bridge to get out of the mess.
Good luck

I would also suggest below 68/80.

There is a great area south on Barkley........Linton recreation area. I've stuck a serious amount of bass there too.

And just around the corner north from there is open water on Barkley, but there are some great areas there for catching some schoolers.....whites and largemouth.

south of Linton on Barkley are some nice smallie areas. Those areas where the river kiss the bluffs on the east side........Big hammer swimbaits..........

Later,

Geo

South end of either Barkley or Kentucky,lilly pads are starting to turn color due to cool nights-Birdsong-hornytoad you wont get run over back in those southern bays.
Tn is more rural with less commercialism however 80 percent or more of ky lake is in it.
Barkley is more stained
Schoolers are actually feeding on 5 in or so threadfin shad right now on main lake gravel points at bay mouths,and the pads are still producing even though turning color,but should you need to can get out and walk to shore.

The lbl campsites are away from the crowd,primative however.
