Hello everyone,

I've been having good luck with southern pro 2 inch tubes. I have been wanting to try 1.75 inch tubes and stumbled across midsouth tubes. It looks like they only offer glitter...

Black and chartreuse has been a good one for me

I thought so.... I wish they would it the same as kentucky lake.

Does this apply to lake barkley or just Kentucky Lake?

Do you normally fish with jigs or with minnows? I usually add a crappie nibble to my jig to give it a scent. That seems to help the fish hold onto the jig a little bit longer.

I fished Barkley Saturday as well. I caught a ton of small fish with only a couple keepers. I talked to several others and they all said the same thing.

Don't let the weather discourage you. Yes fishing behind a cold front is tough but you can still catch fish. The forecast for the first part of the week looks really good. The water here was...

Looking forward to watching this. I really enjoyed watching last seasons episodes. I fish a lot with the crappie magnet so I'm looking forward to watching Jeff Smith.

Has anyone been catching anything on Barkley? Thinking about giving it a try this month if we get a couple days of nice weather. I fished some this November and it was slow for me. Couldn't find...

When I vertical jig I just drop the jig to the bottom and then count the number of half turns of my reel to get it at the right depth. 1 half turn equals 1 foot of line for my setup. When casting I...

I use a 1/8th oz double cross jig made by Leland's lures. I pair that with 6 lb vicious hi vis yellow monofilament line. I fish that setup from 25 feet to 3 feet.

You can get 10, 50, 100, 1000 packs of the 1.5 inch but only 10, 100, 1000 of the 2 inch.

Where do y'all but the 2" from? I found them online in 10 packs but is like to buy 25 or 50 packs.

Merry Christmas!

Thanks for all the input. I will definitely get some 2" tubes. Do you his ever use 1.5". Is it good to have both?

Thanks! What type if tube would you get. They all different kinds and sizes. 1 inch 1.5 inch 2 inch etc.

I've been reading good things about southern pro tubes. I fish Kentucky and Barkley. Not a big tube fisherman but would like to start trying. Looking at their website they have a ton of types and...

Is anyone catching decent numbers of keepers? I've been catching lots of small fish but the keepers seem few and far between?

Thanks for all the suggestions! I decided to buy the 55lb thrust. It is going to take some getting used to. I'm really struggling with the foot control. I think it will just take practice. ...

I am really considering buying a terrova i pilot for my bass tracker. Im stuck on what size I should get.

The boat is a late 90's panfish 16 very similar to this Bass Pro Shops - Fishing,...

Nice catch! They seem to be holding to structure well in that depth range. I caught a nice mess of fish vertical fishing the same depths Saturday.

Had had a nice day on Barkley yesterday. Took a while to figure out what color the fish wanted but once I did it was game on! Found all my fish on brush in 12-15 fow.
...

I am ready to pull the trigger on some rods. Im really stuck on what size to get. I would like 14's but I am just worried that it will be too much to handle in the beginning. I think 12's would be...

I was not able to get off work in time to make it tonight. When someone gets a chance tonight can you please give us a recap of what was discussed. Thanks!

The fishing was not as good as other springs but I still found plenty of fish. I disagree completely with anyone who thinks lowering the pole limit is a good idea. Everyone has the same opportunity...

Thanks for all the great advice. After looking at the southern crappie rods website I'm leaning that direction. Ed seems like a good guy and everyone seems to like his rods. I have a 16ft aluminum...

I will have to look into southern rod and spyderlock holders.

Pappy, you are right about a net! The one I use now wouldn't work so well with those big poles.

The trollin motor I have now is...

I mainly fish single pole and a jig but I am thinking about trying spider rigging. As of right now I am not setup at all for this. My trolling motor needs replaced and I need rod holders and polls....

Friday was tough fishing. It was actually one of the toughest days I've had since February. I would say the front definitely had a negative affect on the fish. Fishing got better Saturday though.
