HarleyMan, be set on ready around the thrid week of April. Hybrids will be tearing it up at night then! I'll be sure to give you a hollar. It's the only time I take a short hiatus from Crappie fishing. Hogdaddy, pre-spawn on Barren with high water? I'd probably be fishing back in Skaggs creek or Browns Ford passed the bridge. Probably start shallow and move out to around 12ft till you find them and definately try the laydowns you see in the water. Hope the Corp doesn't try to rapidly pull the plug on it like they have in the past. Thats what makes fishing Barren so screwy!
