Dave Carroll reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Shallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6') technique and Lew's Speed Spool LFS Casting Reel - EOL on Lake Barkley . Additional comments from this report: "First time one the lake this year. I thought the fish was a little further along but seemed to be still in prespawn mode. The smaller fish were up shallow. Big girls were out in lead in banks but still a little finicky. Shakey head worked but didn't catch any size."
