Cumberland this weekend

How was the bass fishing?

LOL, You beat me to it....

[Duayne]

LOL It was ok at best for us. We did get some nice Kys and a 3-4 smallie. Lots of smaller ones on top which is always fun. Again, we didn't stay with it too long each day.

Thanks Duayne, still catching some on top water wow this surprises me a bit this late. But upper 50's water temps still I can certainly see it.....

Have you noticed the average size of the Kentucky's increasing over the last few years or is it just me. Seems I'm getting better quality on the Spots per an average fish now than in the past??

I'm thrilled with the size and health of Kys, Smallies and Stripers. We were catchings Kys that were huge compared to the average. Three weeks ago I caught 5 smallies 3-4 pounds. The stripers we caught had awesome growth from 2 years ago and were extremely strong and healthy. You can still see they were stunted a few years ago but have continued on since then. Really wide backs, thick bellies and fight like hell. I am thrilled with the prospects of fishing Cumberland. The KDFW has done a remarkable job with Cumberland given the circumstances. T+hey get a standing ovation from me.

I have to agree buddy. I also feel there was a very nice Bass spawn this past spring and I'm hoping for one coming....good stuff....

Are you and your fishing circle seeing any White bass? A couple of years ago I think one year after they stocked some Andrew and I were seeing several and I was catching one to three out of about every three or four trips and really wasn't trying for them at all.
This past year I did not catch a one. I was really hoping they would take off......

[Duayne]

No Whites that I've see on the lower end. I think they stay or stayed more on the upper end. But I may not have enough exposure to be accurate with that statement so don't put a lot of weight on it.
