Rich - You must be extraordinarily lucky then. Read the posts by some of then other Kentucky & Barkley Lake guides who fish the lakes all year round and are finding what keepers they do find are slat thin and most have nothing in their bellies. One even found one with a pebble in its gullet.
Being a fan of shallow water pitching a jig at stick-ups, I have not been out yet this year, but follow the reports here on CdC.
