Had an oppertunity to go fishing on Barren River Lake today with my fishing bud inspite of the pre-fish going on. Started out this morning around 6:30am fishing 12 - 18 foot around stumps and stake beds with minnows, spider rig style. We kept 16 that ranged from 9-1/2" - 12", mostly white crappie threw back many more. The wind got up around 12:30 and the fish slowed and so did we. Stil there is nothing better than spending a day fishing with a good friend. As we pulled the boat out of the water the fella next to us aked "howd yall do today?" I told him we kept 16, and his reply was "that's not so bad." I said..... bad? It beats watching Oprah anyday. He laughed and nodded in agreement.
