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.

Fished the first day of the Toyota Series on Barkley Lake. Was 21st after day 1 and found most of my fish on lead in banks that were relating to wood cover and rock banks. Females seem to not made the push yet to spawn where I was at mostly buck bass. Had to fish really slow and be patient.
