    Just curious about ky and Barkley lake and carp.

    It's been awhile since I have been on the lakes. Do you still have to be scared to idle in the creeks or shallows cause of the carp jumping?

    I'm in Blood and north mostly. Haven't seen as many this year (knock on wood). They're still here for sure 'cause I've seen some bighead boiling, but haven't seen any silvers jumping. Hope that helps.

    They are still here and jumping, at least on the north end. They are all over the depthfinder screens.

    The only time one jumped at my boat is when I was towing a boat in. I don’t see how they could ever go away.

    I definitely saw fewer this year as compared to years past. Only saw 1 or 2 jump behind the boat during a 3 day weekend.

    I had a great time. Caught lots of fish. A couple 7s and a couple 6s. And a lot of 1 to 3 lb fish. Other than them dropping it 2 ft in 3ish days. But lots of fun
