As I had predicted the tournament was very tough. We had 19 boats and I think only 5 of them weighed in. 1st place was two little fish weighing 4lb 12oz. Big bass and 2nd place was a tie, 4lb 11oz. Trent and I had two short fish all day. Water temp in the bays started at 43.5 and the river at 48, by 3PM we had 47 in the bays and 50-53 in some bays and places on the river. If I was fishing the Mar 8th weekend series out of Barkley Lodge I would run full throttle to KY lake.

no doubt it will be worth it. the water will be filthy on barkley.....go through the canal to the promise land
it wasn't really that bad, we found one spot that was really dirty. the fish just weren't biting. I really do prefer to fish ky lake in the winter over barkley. and, i do thing that water clarity has a lot to do with it.

with as much rain as we're going to get this week, barkley will look like a mocha latte this weekend.
