Lake Cumberland fishing report for May 30th, 2009. The water temp is almost 80 degrees and the water is back to almost 680 feet above sea level. The debris is a lot better and the summer fishing patterns are starting. The striper fishing has been excellent the last 2 weeks. They are starting to move out to the main lake. We are pulling alewife herring on planer boards 10 to 25 feet deep. The alewife been very hard to get but they are worth the effort. The walleye are still biting at night on topwater baits and most of the bass are coming off the nest. They are starting to school on points and chasing spawning threadfin shad early and late in the day. The full moon is around the corner and that means bluegills will be on the nest. It is the best time of the year to get numbers of big bluegills. My favorite bait is crickets because you get bonus catfish and smallmouth. Good luck to all and God Bless.
