    How bad will Ky Lake be Memorial Day?

    Looks like Memorial Day weekend will be the first chance I will get to go to Ky Lake. How bad do you guys think boat traffic will be with all this corona virus going on?

    My guess would be horrible, even compared to a normal Memorial Day.

    Pretty bad would be my bet. If the weather is halfway decent, if it’s like last weekend it will be really really bad

    Go the weekend before or after any holiday weekend and you will
    have less than normal weekend traffic. LDS

    I'm sure it will be very crowded, that said, I cought my biggest bass ever (8 1/2 lbs) on Ky or Barkley on Memorial Day in I believe 2004. I was prefishing for the Everstart that started on the following Thursday so didn't really have a choice. I'm sure I wouldn't have been there otherwise, but glad I was.

    Probably not too bad. With everyone getting an early start to the boating season hopefully they've burned through some of their stimulus checks and have to get back to work... Dan

    KY and Barkley will be packed. We've had one hot day this year on a weekend and it looked like the 4th of July on the water and there was 20MPH winds!

    Fish till about 10 and head to the ramp to watch the show of people backing in a trailer for the first time

    Thanks for the input fellas! I had intended on fishing the Triton Owners tournament but, that's off the schedule now. Thinking I might just go fish for a few days.
    I know Cumberland will be a made house with the Buckeye Navy set to invade. I fished Saturday on Cumberland, the scouts were already there. Saw a guy water skiing up in White Oak creek. Air temps in the upper 40's / low 50's and water temp was about 62 degrees!

    That skier must not know about shrinkage!
