Snuck out a little while today, first time I have made it out since they messed with the water levels. Nice and cool early, just a bit of fog. Barkley has definitely got a nice rich color to her right now. Found some fish early where I expected to and didn't find any at all in a bunch of areas I thought I would. Waded off into some real quality fish in area I really didn't expect them to be in at all. Kind of one of those days, barely hooking fish even though they were biting pretty aggressively , most fell off in the net if I landed them. Of course barely hooking them inevitably leads to losing several and while I never like losing fish, this will be a day I won't forget for a while. Nobody believes "the one that got away" stories anyway so I am not going to elaborate more than I lost 4 really nice fish, one black crappie that will haunt me a long time. But considering this is the time of year I have least experience on Barkley and has been pretty challenging for me in the past, could have been alot worse.
