Should be able to still catch some fish.
I'll be there!
Can't wait really looking forward to it! Coming down a week later this year just hope Im making the right decision! Seems the past few years the wether has been a lil rough so hope coming a week later might help out a lil! Only time will tell! I'll find the hog earthier way!
You'll be okay. We come down anywhere in the 1st 3 weeks and catch plenty. I can not remember ever having a year where we didn't catch females without eggs.
I'd almost bet some un-spawned fish could be caught well into May. I know up here is SW Ohio we catch them with eggs throughout May.
There are no Crappie in Lake Barkley, Limit One Per Day, Just Kidding, April is one of my favorite months, (normally)!!!, Many factors will or can effect fishing, keep our finger crossed!!! Just curious what part of Barkley do you plan on fishing? Last year I was catching Crappie mid-may full of eggs. You should be good to go.
I come down every year we get a how house boat out of green turtle bay! Fish a lot around drummers Bay Area! I come down a couple times a year once for crappie and agin in May to fish for gills and she'll crackers! We are comeing down a week later this year for crappie lets just hope the weather works out!
Crappiehabits and myself will be in eddy creek on 13th also. Hopefully weather and water cooperate. Best of luck. Hook em in the lips!
Never fished eddy creek is it good?? Talked to a guy down there last year gill fishin he said we should give it a try!
We have fished it several years in a row now for gill and shells. I just noticed a lot of good lookin stuff for crappie the times I have been. I love it though. It's big enough we never even go out to the main lake and I really like the accommodations also. Cabins or motel room style rooms. Reasonably priced and comes with uncovered slip with electric included. Fish cleanin station at the marina as well. And it's conveniently located at the north east corner which is the closest to us comin down the wk parkway. I definately recommend it. Food at the marina ain't bad neither.
I will be at my place the last few days of March through the first three days of April looking for crappie. The real fun begins mid April...if my wife will let me, I'll come down for 3 weeks to shellcracker fish. I'm very optimistic about the bluegill/ear fishing this spring cause winter was only bad since about Valentines Day. Crappie should be strong too but I struggle with them...bout to change though!!
I'm booking Terry if i flunk out in 2 weeks.
Coming down may 13th to hammer the gills and shell crackers!! Can't wait!!
