The only way I would be on the lake this weekend was if I was in a 40-50 ft Skater with a couple 1000 horsepower. This is the weekend of the Lake Cumberland raft up. If my memory is correct they set a guinness world record in 2010/2011/2012??? by rafting/tying over 2000 boats together. They were purposely trying to break the record that year. I would not want to be on that lake in a "bass" boat even if they only had a few hundred pleasure boats show up this weekend...if you want a sight to see find a ramp where they are using a crane to load/unload a few of the bigger boats. They are so wide they have to lay on their side because if you put them horizontally on the trailer they would be too wide for the highway....absolutely no way I would be on that lake in a bass boat this weekend.

The tailwater in the river will be fine...the boats I am talking about will all be on the main lake.
