Barren River Lake

[daymere]

Excellent catches of hybrids on jigging spoons around the Islands and near the dam. Bass are hitting really good shallow early and late. The low temps so far have them feeding on a regular basis. Jesse says he is catching over 30 fish a day most days and had a 200 fish day with 6 people on his Pontoon.[/left] [left]Look for good catches to continue as long as the temps stay below 85 degrees.[/left] [left]Jim Dicken[/left] [left]New Lake Record Hybrid 19.7 pounds Caught by

[size 2]My husband and I recently visited Barren River Lake and spent the day with your guide Jessie. What fun we had! Jessie was delightful. He really knows the lake and answered all of our "fishin" questions. I would recommend Jessie to anyone wanting to have a great day on Barren River Lake.
