Buzzbait really?
And I would come fish the tournament this weekend, however I have something planned that afternoon and will have to be off the water by 1. Thanks for the invitation though, I will definitely be in on some of these tourneys in the near future.

I can't hang with no BFL guys so I'm not going to waste my coin. I'm going to keep track of what I catch (if any LOL) and see how I would have done.

I'm not lookin for any info from the ppl pre fishin down at Barren this week. What I am mainly looking for is, have the fished moved back into the creeks? Are they shallow yet? Deep? I can figure baits out on my own. Just would like some advice to have a gameplan together before I hit the water.

A lot of fish have moved into the creeks and bays----tons of baitfish there and so are the bass. Sometimes really shallow on lipless baits.... other times 6-12' on the creek channel ledges on shakeyhead. Good luck

Usually Thanksgiving or a little after but depends (greatly) upon rainfall.Originally Posted by SoKYFishin

I fished the BFL there last week.
Had 10.10 the first day and was sitting in 17th place.
The first day weather was probably some of the worse conditions I have ever fished. 40 mph winds, around 40 degrees that morning. mid 50's by the afternoon. But you know the old saying, some of the worse weather conditions means it makes some of the best fishing conditons.
The fish was biting good. I was catching them on secondary points in Beaver creek with a cumberland craw jig and a green pumpkin chunk trailer dipped in chartruece dye. The fish was really hitting top water great all week in practice, but had problems hooking up. For some reason they was just hitting the side of my Buzzbait. I tried rico's and other topwater baits like sammy's, but the buzzbait is where the bite was, I just couldn't get them in the boat.
I had to quit 2 hours early the first day of the tournament, because my starting battery died on me and I had to use my trolling motor battery to get back to the ramp. And yes I have jumpers but they went bad too I guess.
Second day was a picture perfect day for boating but not for fishing
Blue bird skies and around 70 degrees. This absolutley killed my bite. My fish moved out on me and all I could come up with was 1 slot fish that weighed 1.12
I only weighed 4 fish the first day and like I said, I had boat problems. Man I wish I could have stayed and fished those extra 2 hours. I know that I could have caught the 5th fish and possibly culled out that little slot I had. That might have made the difference for me being able to fish the 3rd day. But that's how it goes sometimes.
All and All I had a great week down there and the fishing is really on there. That front moving in, killed me and most of the field.
Most of the guys that had fish the first day came up short on the second day.
Mark Dove was leading it the first day with 16+ lbs. But only weighed in one small slot fish the second day. He didn't make it to the 3rd day. I'm pretty sure He was on the same pattern I was.
I would recommend that lake to anybody. There is a lot of fish with a good ratio of big fish as well.
