I've been fishin N. KY n Barkley for last 3wks n I'll tell ya...fish aint' shallow and haven't been. Best luck is still fishin deep 8-12ft. I did hear a couple good reports from folks fishin docks around KY dam marina area but I didnt go.

Water has to come up (2 to 3ft) and get warm in order to catchum good on North end of lakes. Spawn is not over. Cleaned 7 blacks yesterday w/ eggs.
