    Barkley, Kentucky, or Chickamauga this weekend?

    Me and my usual fishing partners are looking to fish somewhere new Saturday. Another guy is coming down to TN and we're looking to take him somewhere different than OH and Percy. (4 of us, 2 boats)

    We are looking to leave Fri night and fish the majority of the day Saturday.

    We've never fished Barkley, KY, or Chick.

    Anyone have reason to suggest one over the other? We really like fishing grass and structure as opposed to ledges (obviously that may not be ideal this time of year).

    All were caught above the 60 bridge. No fish on the lower end so stay away.

    I was told only the top 10 teams fish Saturday. Is that wrong?

    Unless you are fishing at night KY lake has been brutally tough. Barkley is hit or miss, if your fishing the TN end some current is key.

    I don't have any idea about that. I just see a lot of them pre fishing this week.
