My son is in for 4 days & want to put him on fish. Which lake is hottest? North or South? Is ledges the only place to find them? I want numbers of fish. Thanks for any suggestions.

Check Dave's report over on the fishing reports section, its right on. The only thing I can tell you is they haven't been pulling much current in the last two weeks. It has the fish I been catching stacked up, therefore it can be feast or famine if you aren't on them. Just pick an area of the lake with a couple good ledges in the 15-25' range and start picking the ledges apart, SLOWLY, once you find them and wake a school up you will feast quickly. Big worms and crankbaits EARLY, wish I could help more but I famined the last two trips

There is an early morning topwater bite on Ky Lake....both north and south...in the backs of bays with off the grass beds and on secondary points off the back flats where there is pond weed on the points. There is a frog bite also around the matted grass south of the 68 bridge on Ky....especially in the bays on the LBL side around Ginger and south. The ledges on both lakes are producing....Kyle is giving good info...fish them slow and thoroughly....C-rigs, slack lining jigs, dragging jigs, big worms on heavy shakey heads (1/2 to 3/4 oz)...best worm producer for me has been the Charmer worms...especially plum. Good Luck. I will putting up my weekly report tomorrow evening.

Isn't a 1/2oz - 1oz shaky head called a jig :)
Thats what I use anyways, Watermelon and Plum have been real good to me. Plum 10" ringworms are hard to find down here as well. Apparently they are a hot bait right now.

I guess I missed that class....
The ledges on Barkely lakes is as hot as a cookies fire right now. There was a tournament out of Kutawwa last week end and it took 20 pounds to get a tenth place check. It took 23 pounds to win by a very good friend of mine and most all fish was taken off Barkely Lake.
