Well, thanks again for the responses to my questions concerning fishing below the dam. My 10 year old son and I ended up fishing the still water on the lower end of Cumberland today and to my surprise had a great trip. We boated 8 smallmouth and 1 KY. The biggest 5 went around 21 lbs. He caught his biggest fish to date and I caught a pretty nice one as well. His was a 22" beauty at 5lb 4oz. My biggest was 4lb 14oz at a little over 21". We did cheat a little as we caught 5 on a fly and minnow. The other 4 came off shiners including his big one. He had a ball and was very excited with the big one. He had one more 4 lb class fish at the boat and it flipped off that is not included in the 9. We missed maybe 5 or 6 good bites so it was really a great day for me. I've never really fished C-Land much this time of the year. I've always gone to Dale and Norris but the size we saw today may make me rethink that.
All fish were on the lower end around 20-35ft deep. Here are some pics. I caught the most but as you can see in the pics, he had me on size and I couldn't be any happier.
