Fished North Barkley with Mark Menendez Sunday and it was tough. Pulled the lakes about 2 feet in 4 days which pulled everything in the creeks out to the points. All my typical fall spots back in creeks were like the dead sea. Very strange for this time of year. We finally got on some schooling fish at the mouths of a few bays. Caught about 30 on KVD 1.5, Strike king series 3 and Red eye shad. It's always a beautiful time on the lake. It's also amazing the knowledge Mark has on those lakes. He'll drive 5 miles to fish one stump and catch a limit on it. The funny part about the trip for me was driving home this morning. I stopped at Fenton in my suit and caught a 5 right off the riprap. She was sunning on the rock right in front of me and I dropped a senko on her nose.
