First season in a long time I haven't tagged out.

Season is WAY WAY too late in my area

Nice fish. Did u catch those on Barren? I have been waiting for better conditions. Looks like I have been nissing out if u caught those here on Barren lately. My experience here are they are DEEP and...

Anyone fish Barren this weekend?

Sure had planned to but am not going to be able to.

The weather and draw down probably has them messed up bad anyway.

Just curious.

Good Luck!

thanks for that link!

Was very interesting.

Don't know about most other places. I do know that on Barren when the water is falling they get TOUGH to catch. Today it is 7.5' above summer pool and they are pulling the heck out of...

Got it...answered it.

I am going to try and go in the morning. Even though I have a lot of stuff I need to do here.

I love this time of year. Crappie, Turkeys, and morels. Nothing like it.

There was some stuff floating but not as much as I thought there would be. The conditions overall were much better than I expected. If I hadnt run out of trolling motor battery I would heve ended up...

Went around 9am.Had planned to go around daylight.

Water was stained but not bad. I like it with some color.

Found them around blow downs in the channel. The smaller ones at around 8' and the...

I was thinking about going today. Had some other things come up so I didn't.

Just drove down to Walnut Creek ramp and the water is stained but not "muddy" as I thought it would be.

I didn't...

that's a mess of crappie!

I live between Walnut Creek and Brown's Ford.

Would load up and go today after seeing that except got the fact it is Sunday. I vowed a LONG time ago to NEVER EVER fish...

what part of the lake, if you don't mind me asking.

anyone had any luck this week?

Sorry, but I haven't a clue as to what the surface temp was. Don't even have a depth finder on my "crappie boat". I know the lake well enough to know what the depths are and if in doubt I just stick...

Went yesterday and caught 15. They bit pretty good EARLY then about 9 they were hard to get. The bite was on about daylight and as the sun got higher they started slowing way down. Could have caught...

they are there..

I have been fishing it since 1969 and have had some awesome days. The crappie on barren seem to really be on or off. Depends a LOT on conditions. If you can catch the barometer...

fished walnut creek area of Barren this morning.

We put in at 6"30 and fished till 11. Caught 2 keepers. Was tough to say the least.

I almost NEVER fish with bluebird skies...but a buddy had...

caught this one on barren a couple of weeks ago. Was over 14"

thinking about going this morning. I hate fishing on Saturday here but I guess it would be better than not going.

Going to get windy and high blue skies.

What to do what to do...?

I would...

Fished Barren Sat. They were biting GOOD.

Was catching them in 15 to 20" of water about 7' deep. I caught fish on about every piece of wood I fished. Caught 1 over 13"

I remember now why I...

Anyone been? Any luck?

With the lake being up and the fact they have the plug pulled on it I haven't been in a while. I may start back in Monday. Would like to today but can't and this weekend I...

On Barren my "go to " is a chartreuse tube with a white tail. If it isn't working then I start going to others.....but to start off with the old chartreuse and white is first in the water. Actually...

that's interesting..

I love to eat them. Had no clue they were stocking them.

I squirrel hunter this am and was going to fish this afternoon. I stopped by the ramp to take a look on the way...

nope...never have caught any.

didn't know they were stocking them.

Where are they stocking them?

I went the 31st from 6:30 to 10:30. I had to get home before 11 to help babysit my grand daughter.

I put in at Walnut Creek as usual and ran up as far as the end of the second set of bluffs....

I went this morning.

Took my daughter and she got cold so I didn't stay very long.

I gished the first bend upriver from Walnut Creek ramp. We caught a few. and several dinks. If I had stayed I...

Water looks clear as tap water. A little more color would be nice..

They are gettig in back down to where it needs to be.

Might be able to start back crappie fisihng...

Well the rain has ruined it for a while.

Rained 2.2" lake rose 4.4' and it is 7.5' over winter pool. IT is MUDDY!! The water is up out of the channels and is covering the flats up in the Walnut...

just got home from a good day on the river.

I put in at Walnut Creek and ran 2/3rds of the way up to Brown's Ford. Man was it cold this morning on the water. Just before the power lines I stopped...
