Terry,
Below Barkley has had a pretty good catfish bite on cut bait. Have you thought about fishing for Stripers. Below Kentucky has been pretty good for striper the last few days with the better generation. 4 - 6 inch live shad has been the best on KY bumping a 3 way with 3 oz. sinker in the afternoon. Getting good bait has been the key. Some are doing OK with x-large minnows. My neighbor Smoothie is the best catfisherman in the area and I will ask him tomorrow what has been good on the catfish. If you need a Striper guide Jimmy Doom has them dialed in right now.
