These are those maps you buy at Bass Pro Shops for ten dollars a piece. They seem fairly decent, showing water depths, contours, islands, brushpiles, submerged road beds etc. Do any of you have these maps and are they helpful to you?

I'm planning on making annual trips in the spring for the gill/shellcracker action and I need to get familiar with these lakes. I thought it was interesting that they had one big map for KY lake but two for Barkley. Barkley has a northern map and a southern map.

These maps indicated 1-2lb crappie are abundant, with even bigger fish. Also said there was an abundance of 3-6lb bass and up to 10 lbs.
