According to Steve McAdams column in yesterdays Paris newspaper, they're in their second week of spawning. Due to low water levels, they're apparently spawning in the 5-7' depths rather than their normal sites that remain out of water.

Ok thank you so much I'm only gonna be there next weekend so I don't have much time to pattern them.

I think you should hit them at the right time. I just got back from Barkley. We caught 21 in 3 days. Not very good but the best I have done.Also catch many channel cats.The spawn is not over. The water temp is 74 degrees. It is my understanding that shellcrackers spawn when water temp is at 75 degrees. I would think that is would get better next week. Just my opinion.

See that's what I thought too. But my buddy was told different and I didn't believe it at all. I really appreciate the feedback because ky lake is a 3 hour drive for me and I didn't wanna waste the time going if it was over.
