Year before last, the day after Christmas, a buddy and I were putting in at dawn at Burnside ramp on Cumberland to striper/bass fish. A guy was pulling out by himself, so we gave him a hand.

He showed us a livewell with a limit of slab crappie. Said he'd only been out since 4 A.M. Said they were coming off wood in about 20 feet of water, up in the river.
