Largemouth fishing is spotty. There have been some good catches taken<br>but the patterns vary. The largemouth are in post spawn and some are<br>being taken on deep gravel points on crankbaits. Others have begin to<br>show up on the drops. Most are being caught plastic worms along the<br>drops offs. The fish are moving to the drops but they are still<br>scattered. Crappie are slow. Catfish are slowing some. Very good<br>stringers are still being caught on leaches and nightcrawlers along the<br>rock. They are finishing their spawn. Fishing is best for the cats, very<br>early and late in the day. Whitebass are being caught on jigging spoons<br>and inline spinners along the river drops. When there is current the<br>whites have been hitting very good. Bluegill is excellent on several<br>baits. They are in 4' to 6' of water.<br><br>TIP: Fish are moving deeper as the water warms. If the bite slows, try<br>fishing deeper.<br><br>BITS AND PIECES: Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by<br>the things you didn't do than by the things you did do.<br><br>www.kentuckylakebarkley.com
