Ketucky Lake\Barkely Catfish

Getting ready to leave the blizzard up here in the tri-state area and head south to Paducah tomorrow. Fishing a Bass Pro Big Cat Question tournament out of Paducah Saturday. The Ohio is flooded so thinking about pre fishing the Cumberland one day and the lakes the next. Have any of you guys seen any shad\catfish holding on the river channel on the upper part of either lake? It will be a long cold run but it might be worth it. Never fished the area but looking forward to getting away for the weekend. Good luck to everyone braving the cold this weekend.
