Well guys and gals, we made it through the 4th of July! I hope everyone had a great holiday celebrating our nation’s independence. Our country is in a mess, but we still live in the greatest country on earth. It’s hard for me to believe that we are already halfway through the year and boy has it been a treat this year. Our lake is in better shape than it’s been in a long time from shad, fish spawns, numbers, quality, and all of the above. A special thanks to the KDFW and TWRA for their efforts in battling the invasive species and getting our lakes in better shape. It truly is incredible to ..read more

The warm and muggy days are on the way and fish are making their way offshore for the summer months. The last month or so has been all about the fish moving away from spawning areas towards the mouths of the creeks and will eventually end up offshore. Once the spawn is over and water temperatures start getting to that mid 70s mark, fish will start making their move towards the main river ledges of Kentucky and Barkley Lakes. The last few years have been pretty well absent of those big schools of fish, but this year with the combination of a lot of different things, we are seeing great signs ..read more

This time of year the smallmouth and largemouth are in full blown spawn mode with some of the spawn starting to wind down. Crappie are pretty well done, and the big bluegills and shellcrackers are making their way to their nests. This is a great time of year to be on the water, with everything for the most part being up shallow and easier to target. It is crazy to think that we are already halfway through the spring months. Let’s dive in to it ..read more
