I am of the opine that it was a "focused management effort" that lead to Beaver's decline. Same bunch that switched the breeding of producing hybrids. Think I'll pass on those efforts thank you.

You forgot to mention the the Dept shocked up a bunch of bass and moved them to Guist Cr.

I'd take a good look at Barren, esp if water is right(which is always a crapshoot). Bass during the day or hybrids at night. Same for Cumberland, except switch stripers for hybrids.

Sorry for your misery. Good luck.

Am a blacklight user. Recently switched to braid and use blue fluorescent P-line for leader. Use about 12 foot of leader, which can be seen by bl, which I can tell how deep my bait is at all times.

A white buzzbait used to catch a few, esp around culverts.

I would not consider it steep.

dabassking gave some great advice. You are wading into some murky waters. Being a "senior" member puts you in my end of the pool. So much out there, most which we old guys don't really need (or...

Water looked pretty good but a little high.

Years ago I had a striper guide tell me the very same thing.

No expert, but it is my understanding that at least in pond in can have an almost instant fish kill as an influx of cooler water on top can mess up the O2 by rapid flipping of the heavier cooler...

Allow me to ask this. What would happen if we were to get a sudden one inch of rain?

Plastics on bluff walls right before dark.

Surely not a Moss Boss.

What would that lure be?

If on Taylorsville at night be sure to take your bug spray, maybe even some of those bug candles. No need to take snacks, as you'll get a steady diet of bugs to chew on.

So how did it go?

Cumberland

I feel your pain. At least they didn't hang around to disrupt your fishing. That being said, you may need to rethink the "my" in the "my old off shores holes" thing.

Sat am it was up and more mud the closer to Van Buren. 5-6 feet into the bushes.

You realize that those without a scale would have had a 6 lber!

I got a report of a 1:30 to 4:30 bite last week.

65 degrees

Looks fine.

The wintertime/early spring fish may well be targeting gizzard and theadfins. Once water temps hit mid 50's the alewives head to those black shale banks.

Above summer pool and 55 degrees.

I know the water is WAY up.

Just purchase before Mar 1st. It's that easy.

Good luck on trying to predict the Big C. One big rain and the whole lake can be a total mess, trashing all of your well laid plans. If I had to pick lottery days for that lake it would be first week...

Thanks for report. Don't you just hate topwater?

Troll creek mouths near the dam and creek mouth past mile stretch. Should also get them in the jumps soon as well.

Beaver or Willisburg imo.

Put in at the dam.

The KDFWR wants to REMOVE bass from this lake? YIKES!!!

What he said.

There are at least 3 between Taylorsville and the entrance of the State Park.

I do not enjoy the antics of those otters like you guys do.

Hate to say it ,but NO!

My bad. It is BOAT Works at Taylorsville.

MarineWorks at Taylorsville. I believe there are two more down the road as well.

Try putting in at Van Buren and trolling toward the dam with # 5 or # 7 shad raps.

Thank you.

Back from the lake yet?

How about a report back?

Dick's has an Okuma for about $35. Another tip I might add is, when you get a nice backlash(birds nest) you may be better served if you pull the line (gently) back rather than pull the line out the...

No it always stayed on the left side, then going to baitcasters an old time muskie guide urged me to use LH reels and I never looked back.

Since you adept in spinning, start with a LH reel. No reason to switch the rod into other hand with ever cast. Best advice I ever received on baitcasters. I also started casting by throwing my thumb...

You may do better to find where the alewives are working the banks(spawning). Start with black shale banks. As the season progresses, the shad begin working the shallow black shale banks later and...

Basspro has them. Casting rods, filter 6'.

YouTube has several how-to videos.
