Thanks for everyones help. I read the reports after came home from a week on Barkley and it made me feel like I can't fish! Boats everywhere. North barkley to South around donaldson very busy and tough! Ecomony doing well down there, hotels had boats and boats. Never got over the disapointment of no water. All of fish came off of channel banks and roadbeds. Shakey heads and cranks were most successful. We did catch the most 3lbers ever. No real little fish lots of chucks. Junk fishing and 1' to 15'. 15-16 pds a day best 5, but numbers down a lot. Bag 5 crankbaits and 3xd's GR. Giz shad. Love Barkley learned a lot but wished I had waited and went to St. Clair the end of May. Lots Of Luck! Thanks Offdtop and Skeeter.
