Has the recent rains helped Cumberland or is it still slow?

All my contacts says it's very very slow. This has been a sorry year for the Big C for bass. Yes. it's had it's moments but overall most people will tell you it has been a very poor year overall. I'm concerned and I think the Department of Fish and Wildlife aught to do some creel studies and see if there may be an issue going on down there. Alot of dead fish being seen and not all Walleye and Stripers either????


Now mind you somebody is gonna come on here and say they caught 25lb sacks everday for a week, lol, but I'm telling you it's been a tough year even for guys that fish that lake all the time and know how to catch'em.

it has been a lil slow this year and it seems the fish are not as healthy as they use to be. I caught a 20in smally this past weekend and it didnt even weigh 4 pound.

Day time bite has been good all year.. Up until the rains came 20- 30 fish a day was not uncommon , with 5-10 keeper bass the norm. BUT the night bite has been slow for some.

You are winning most tourney's this year down there with that kinda output. If you aren't fishing any you should be cause your numbers sound better than most I've heard this year. I see you are a local, sounds like you gott'em figured out, keep up the good work.

"SO SO", KVD does not win 7 out of 11 with 2 seconds and 8 Big fish out of 11 tourneys. Sure wish I could fish "SO SO" in tourneys, I would never go back to working for somebody else.

HA HA I wish I didn't have to go back to work only problem is we have to wait until late july until we can catch them like that. But have smoked them all of august and sept. Got our last night tournament this weekend !!!!! But they stay on this pattern until mid november even during the day then we have to look for them again!!!!!

Of course you must understand the lm Bite has been dead on cumberland. So we always fish for smallmouth. This lake is FULL of 4lb class fish you just have to fish different , keep thinking you only need 3-4 bites and yes sometimes 1 good one is good enough for big fish and second ( 4.5 -5 lbs). But when you find them they are schooled up by size. Many a time we pull up on a spot and catch 3-5 fish all between 3.5-4 lbs.But you may have to fish 20 spots to find them....
