John,

I share your problem. Not just too much water, but almost all of it has
features that should hold fish. I'm going back to fishing the stuff that
produced for me last year instead of trying to find newer and better spots.
When I have exhausted my ability to milk a better fish or two out of those
waters then I'll start exploring again.

I have a few backwaters I know fairly well, and a few banks in the channel I
have flipped good fish off of. Thats all I am going to fish the rest of the
year unless my back boater just wants to go for a ride.

I havn't been posting much lately...been out fishing . As many of you
know, I am a transplanted Californian, now living in Kentucky. I live a
few miles from Kentucky and Barkley Lakes...big lakes! I can catch bass
consistently, but that is when I am fishing the spots I know that they
are there...boat docks, and inhabited areas of the lakes. But I love to
fish in the more natural settings...just me and the wilderness so to
speak. But theses lakes are really big.....just too much water, can't
seem to find "that" spot" on them. In California, the lakes were "ponds"
compared to this, and I could always pin point the "spots" pretty quick
out there. I have all the maps, talk to all the local "in the know"
people...but I still see too much water out there, and move around way
too much I fear. "The water's greener on the other side of the hill
thing". I keep seeing what I thnk are better areas .
Anyone else have this problem.....yea, I know, what a great problem to
have, hu? grin
