Nothing I love more than throwing a worm into a downed tree in late May, or rippin' a streamer past a ledge. If that isn't working Geofisher and several others who post regularly on this forum offer exceptional guide service.
Just to clarify....I'm not a guide.

Dave Stewart is and he's pretty much the BEST down there. If you're looking for a guide, I'd definitely recommend him.....GREAT GUY.

Fishing in May, and late May should be awesome. You should be able to catch plenty up shallow that time. spinnerbaits, soft plastics, and topwater REALLY EARLY and LATE.

I have a trip mid may, and can probably give you some info then if you remind me

The biggest thing to understand about KY and Barkely is the wind will KILL you if you are not careful. South winds at 20 generally means don't venture out, especially if you're new. Find a long east west bay and use a RAMP in that bay. Lots of bays on the LBL side......Pisqua, Smith, Sugar, Ginger, Redd, and some others have ramps. On the Western KY side, there are also a lot of ramps.........

Be careful, and HAVE FUN.
