As big and varied as Jonathon Creek is... You would never even have to leave the bay...
You might be able to walk across the entire bay from boat to boat by then...
Lots of boats....LOTS of boats....but lots of fish there too...:)

thanks for the replies, sounds like we might do ok. got a small boat ,didn't want to get out to far from shore. thanks again
Once the fish are closer to spawn like the time of the year you are going you can walk from one boat to another. I was like you about 10 years ago when I went to Blood River the 1st time and didn't know where to go once I backed the boat off the trailor. Once I scanned the lake I found about 50 to 75 boats stacked ontop of each other and figured I would head that direction.
thanks going to be there wednesdayQuote:

Kentucky Lake is a 160,000 acre lake. KY Lake is 185 miles long.
Barkley Lake is 57,000 acres of water.
So you will have plenty of water too fish.
Next week will offer some great weather, IMO

I've been meaning on getting some backup batteries for spring trips to ky lake......any advice on brand/type/life/best value?
wnt to ky river no good, then boone creek an the bass was hitting
Take a look at the Fishing Electronics & Trolling Motor Forum ... there's a sticky thread at the top of the page about batteries, that will give you some personal opinions (per experience) on various battery brands, etc.Quote:
