Barkley 7/24/17

Didn't make it out last week, probably for the best, it was awfully hot. Didn't feel that bad to me today, I spent alot of time riding and looking though. Fish were perky on mid depth ledges early with the clouds and moved deeper as the sun broke through. Action was steady all day if you were where the fish were but there continues to be huge stretches of the lake that are like a ghost town. Real quality fish today, only a couple under 11". Although I would be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to fall, summer action has been great so far.

A fine mess of fish there! The heat is a bit more bearable when the fish are biting.

Blue Bank Resort is on Reelfoot Lake. This thread is about Barkley Lake.

Upset me? You'll have to do a lot more than that to upset me. I was just making sure somebody who didn't know Barkley or Reelfoot who might read this post might think Barkley was full of cypress stumps and knees. Sorry your trip didn't work out.

I actually use a rod in each hand and I am not that great, just been blessed to be able to spend a lot of time on the water and try to pay attention to what the fish tell me.

Don't let Austin fool you. He is a great fisherman and has a nose to find fish.
