Re: Cumberland weeds/grass
Not a bad idea at all. I personally feel that when Cumberalnd returns to it's normal levels that the lake will be red hot for a couple of years. Way back in the day it use to have a fair amount of buckbrush growing in it. I think alot of the buckbrush is beginning to grow in areas again, this is a good thing for the fish.
Re: Cumberland weeds/grass
I was down there fishing over the weekend and I was having the same thoughts. Where we were fishing there was already alot of brush growing along all of the banks.

Re: Cumberland weeds/grass
Striper fishing last week noticed all the greenery as well. it looks real nice. in some places it has gotten very thick already and it hasn't even been a full year... about 6 more its gonna look a whole lot different id say. personally im pretty excited about it.
Re: Cumberland weeds/grass
I was hoping nobody would ask how I did. Actually the overall day was pretty good. We got down there about an hour before daylight, put in at Waitsboro. I was fishing a jig in about 25 ft of water just before the sun got out. I felt a good thump and set the hook into a freight train. After fighting her a while I got her up to the boat and I saw the biggest smallmouth I've ever hooked into. She flopped off right at the boat. Obviously that was the bad part. We fished till about noon and I caught several nice kentucky's and a 3lb+ largemouth. All of these came in 20+ ft deep on an omega football head jig. We mainly fished in the creeks real close to the main lake and deep water.

Re: Cumberland weeds/grass
Don't wory, I'm back on subject now...
Grass is a great idea, but only if it is the genetically pure native Cumberland strain. Why would we import northern grass that isn't suitable in our southern waters, when we have a rare expensive native grass that might maybe probably won't work. And while we're at it, nows a good time to remove all of this big aggressive striped ocean grass that doesn't belong here anyway.
(LOL) I only pick on the guys I truely respect. The ones that can out fish me any day of the week. Pretty much all you guys.
