That seems to make many reluctant to help.
That pretty much hits the nail on the head, and is why i dont post on here much anymore. Theres a few guys that i converse with, but it gets irritating having a lot of people pm you asking for help only to never hear from them again but ill generally still help with a basic pattern. I dont fish cumberland much, but like Les said night fishing is generally the way to go this time of year in the south anywhere aside from the ledge lakes. Find a 45 degree bank and experiment with baits and let the fish tell ya what they want. May find some topwater action at the crack of dawn and right before dark
