Chad (Red190) was the lucky winner of the KY Lake crappie trip I gave away at the recent Green River event. He had some bad luck coming down and the fish didn't sound very cooperative on Barkley for the 2 days prior to our trip. We got together on Monday at Sportsman's Marina on Jonathan Creek. Right off the bat we were dealing with a stiff east wind.

I decided to get off the west side and try to lessen the wind effects after a while on a ledge that was red hot on Sunday produced zero.

We found some decent fish but not in the numbers I hoped for. Chad, his Dad, and brother-in-law were great to fish with and were sponges for information on how and why I did certain things different than they might have done them.

It was great to fish with you guys and hope you gained a small helping of ideas that can help you in your part of the state.
