Thanks for your help. You got us in the area and was able to start searching from there. If I can ever help you out, let me know. I greatly appreciate the help.

Sorry I've not been able to post this before but I wanted to post a report from my first trip to Cumberland. First let me say thanks to a couple guys who dropped me some basic info to get me started....
Any particulars you can give me in Beaver? I followed your info on types of banks and finally ran into some fish. I found some bait and of course, fish. Im heading back tomorrow and Friday with my...
Ive never thrown it. I looked it up and saw it was basically like a senko on a flat lead head. How do you fish it?
Our fish came on deeper cranks in black & white and sexy shad. Through a red/gold rouge, white spinner, black/blue jig with no luck. Today was the first time Id ever been on the lake. We might drive...
We hauled a couple of fish this afternoon in Indian Creek. Also fished Brown but nothing. Our bites came on deep cranks.
What depth are you focusing on and any particular color working better...
Never been on the lake but considering giving it a shot if the bite at Dale doesnt pick up tomorrow. Im staying in Albany. Any suggestions on a ramp to launch and areas to hit? Type of fishing that...
Today's weather was textbook for what I could ask for when fishing Dale. I guess today was the fish God's April fools joke. Water temps started around 55° and found some that was up near 58°. I knew...
Water temps were 49° when we launched. Between 55-56° when we finished up. Had 4 fish today, a 2lb largemouth, a 2 lb smallie, a 4 lb smallie & a short largemouth. Water clarity was crazy. Water is...
I know your boat. We usually idle past when you are on the back of the island to fish the flat on the Sulphur side. I'll be in a blue stratos. Will definitely say hello.
Hope to browns are...
Rick,
Ill be down next Saturday for the next 9 days hoping to find some of the big girls on cranks, spinners & jerkbaits. Seems like the lake is really coming back around after the fish kill...
Taking my dad and son to Canada in June-July for a 7 day fly in get away. Have always wanted to go north and finally got the old man to agree to the trip. Stoked to try the waters for smallies and...
I am trying to get information about possibly starting a high school bass team in the eastern part of the state. If anyone is involved in one of these teams and could get in touch with me for some...
Hey Man,
No problem on the message. I appreciate you getting back to me. We caught every fish with the exception of one keeper on a crank bait. We didn't haul the numbers you did, but the bites we...
Well the wind wasn't a huge factor today for the first time all week and the side effects was the fishing got tough. Got on them pretty good this morning but once the sun got overhead, it was a tough...
Well the wind still blew today but nothing like yesterday. Still had to be strategic on how we approached our fishing but it was pretty specific of where we found our fish.
Unlike yesterday, all...
3-4ft at times. It was not anything I would want to make any form of a run on.
HOLY WIND STORM!
She was ugly today and trying to run the main lake was about a dumb as touching a red hot stove burner. I dont think I could've gotten much wetter if I had just jumped in the...
Check your DM when you get a chance.

Well things certainly wasn't amazing, but they were much better than Sunday when I mustered up only a couple short fish on the back side of a limit Saturday. Man I love fishing. On to the report.
...
Well for my first day on the water this year, Im either worried or excited for what is to come. I managed to put a 5 fish limit of 13.5lbs in the boat today on 4 largemouths and 1 spot. My spot was...
Anyone been on the lake recently? Headed down Friday night for four days hoping to wear out the brown fish. Going out of State Dock.
Skeeter
I tried to wiggle in the 11th day but the darn thing called work keeps getting in the way.
I leave next Friday for 10 days at the lake and I don't know what to do. Should I be excited or best crashing every chance I get to stock pile sleep? 😂😂
Headed to Dale Hollow for 4 days on the...
Tune in if you get a chance. I think you will enjoy hearing his take on just about everything fishing.
His Ike Foundation is just that, just for the youth and having a chance to promote it on the nation level is huge too. He was very passionate about helping the kids to just get outdoors and have fun....
I will have Mike Iaconelli on my radio show this Saturday morning at 9am talking about his fishing career, Going Ike & the Ike Foundation. If you live in the Ashland listening area, you can tune in...
Where is this best place to find the chip for the most bang for my buck?
I have 2 Hummingbird Helix 5 GPS and I would like to add the map chips to both units but have no idea how to tell the difference between all the options.
Can someone help me out with some info...
Please tell me they are eating the crank baits like a couch potato pounding a bag of Lays?
We had a bite like this 5 years ago before the fish kill and caught 75 smallies in 3 days, only 2 that...
When you say big girls, are you referring to greenies or big browns? Lol!
Mother Nature got her giggles last week when it decided to turn to winter when I was supposed to head to the lake. Well, after a few adjustments we moved the trip to this weekend. Headed down...
Due to the nasty weather this weekend, we pulled back and are waiting until next week. Hopefully as the weather warms l, the fish will pull back up. We will be in Thursday morning through Sunday. No...
How bad has the freaking weather killed the bite Rick? Our entire trip has been flipped upside-down. Not coming down until Thursday now.
Sounds like the lake has nearly made a full bounce back after the fish kill a few years back. Great to hear the numbers & quality are on the rise. Such a great fishery. Hopefully one of those big...
Have you been pulling multiple fish from the same area?
I'll swing by and say hello. We are usually in the same area except I move in a circle and you just let them circle around to you. Lol!
Has the lake come up any or is it still around winter pool? Talked to a buddy who went down a couple weeks back and he made it sound as if the water was still down.
Headed down next week to try...
Headed down Thursday with the old man & my son hoping to find a few mean ones. Plan on fishing from Eagle Cove- State Dock toward Sulphur.
Water Temps in the 60S yet & have the fish started to...
Thanks! Just booked for next weekend. Just a bit down the lake farther than we usually stay but not a long run for where Im headed as compared to the state dock.
Appreciate it.
Headed down with dad & taking my son next week and the State Lodge is completely booked. Anyone know of lodging near the lake. Ive found some stuff back in Burkesville but was trying to get closer to...
Look for grass beds on main lake points and flats. We had to back out to some deeper grass beds yesterday (10') but most of the time fished beds in 6-8 feet of water. The key seemed to be long casts...

Well the weather more or less sucked this weekend but the fishing was decent. We were able to put together limits each day with our biggest bag coming Saturday. We had 17lbs Saturday, 16.5lbs Friday...
What end of the lake fid you fish? Only had 1 on a jerks bait today and it was a large mouth. Wind made it difficult to work. All other fish on cranks.
Unless Im catching multiple 5lbers on EVERY cast, Ill just go home if I had to deal that concoction. That makes my head hurt and forearms hurt just looking at it. You would need at least a 200 to...
I remember hearing about certain regs on the A-Rig in TN. Can anyone help me out? Headed down there this week and would love to sling it around some if I can.
