Thread: Lake Barkley, Eddy Creek

I checked out Eddy Creek yesterday (Sunday) The water is getting rather muddy. I love to fish this area, with it like it is looking I think I would trailer over to Kentucky Lake. If you are set on fishing the bay I would recommend fishing the old creek channel paying special attention to bends and turns. There is an old road bed that runs adjacent to the levey that could hold some fish this time of the rear. That same old road bed turns west and follows the north side of the bay pretty much out to the mouth of Eddy Creek. I would advise anyone to look at the water color first. Kentucky Lake is not as suceptible (sic) to mud. THE BANDIT

Are you talking about the side of the eddy creek near Holiday Hills and further on back? I will be staying on Barkley and fishing mostly up and down Eddy creek. I don't know where much is there, I only know it by landmarks and such.

What kind of bait do you like around there? I usually jig over stumps and such or use minnows on dropoffs and structure. I am not setup for spider rigging and all that stuff.

Thanks for your response.
