With the rains this past week, has Cumberland muddied up any?
We are leaving next Thursday nite and will be fishing through until Sunday. We will be staying at Timberpointe and be in a 21 foot Astro Fish-n-Ski. Should be mainly concentrating on Greasey, Pumpkin, Lily, Wolf, and Caney creeks. How deep have the stripers been? Can you launch at Jamestown boat ramp?
I will post all results when I return, hold nothing back.
I have not been down on that end fishing for stripers but I would assume the same is going on down there, both Saturday and Sunday was the same. On the East end they are in between 25-32 feet of water. They are coming to the surface for the shad in more shallow depths though with a lot of times right on the shore. The jumps are active but not biting as aggressive as other times, they don’t seem to be coming all the way to the surface so you will need to use something that stays under the water a bit instead of top water. Trolling with crank baits has worked for me when the jumps are not producing. Shiners are not working near as well as shad right now if you are going to use live bait.
Defiantly head for the creeks versus the main lake, I would start about half way back and work your way towards the mouth.
Good luck!
Jamestown ramp is good right now. No problems launching there lately. My guess for this time of the year would be the backs of the creeks for stripers.
