Default Ky Lake fishing

Hi,I live close to Ky & Tn state line near Cadiz Ky.The fishing bug bit me hard last year in late spring and being that Lake Barkley is closer I fished it more than Ky lake but fish both a little bit.Both areas you mention should have good fishing and have lodging,camping options.One thing to keep in mind is the Ky side north end of lakes near the dam has a canal that connects the two lakes giving you option to try both lakes out without taking a boat out of the water.But if you take out of water the lakes are not far apart if you wish to try both lakes while here.Ky lake has clearer water more gravel bottom and greater number of SM Bass than Lake Barkley but more LM Bass caught at both lakes than SM.Wind affects Ky Lake more than Barkley if you have smaller boat on main body of the lake but both have bays to fish off main lake.If you go a little south on either lake both have areas that allow you to fish a fairly large amount of water with either a Ky or a Tn fishing license
