I'm here on Lake Barkley and while I've had a couple of successful trips fishing for shellcrackers, something just doesn't feel right. I'm not seeing many nests, just a few here and there with not a lot of fish on them. I'm going to give it a go leading up to next week's new moon.

Yesterday, I looked back at pictures of fish from the last five years and my better fish were almost always caught around the April and May full/new moons. I'm hoping they have a good run this next 7-10 days!!
