I just recently got medically retired and plan on doing a lot more fishing down at the lakes. I'm about an hour away and with a little heads up, I can plan to be down there as well. I've got one of the small 2 man plastic John boats and have fished around the back side of Barkley in the coves using it. Send me a PM and I'll trade phone numbers.

I plan on being down there tonight (5/24) about 7pm at the ramp under/near the Hwy 62 bridge below Barkley Dam.
