I am meeting my family on barkley lake at the canal campground tonight to fish this weekend. I need advice on where or how you locals might suggest fishing this end of the lake. Anything would be helpful. Thanks a bunch. good luck to all you going out this weekend.

I would fish the coves that are south facing with wind blowing into the back of them. This is where the crappie should be actively feeding if they are up that shallow. They should be close with the water temp near 60. Catfishing should be good and flats off of the main channel should be good feeding areas.
Thanks for all the help. The crappie bite was slow, but the catfishing and bluegill fishing was pretty good. Caught several nice flatheads in the canal and channels in brushy coves(really shallow). It would have been much better had someone not cut on e trot line and stolen half the stagings which I suspect had fish on them(as they were random stagings missing). What a jerk to do something like that. I don't mean to stereotype, but I know bass fisherman brag about cutting up trotlines they get plugs hung in.
