Is Cumberland a lake that the water clears quickly?

In this picture you can see what the water looked like Friday 3/11. Pay no attention to the brown carp or that prickly thing hanging from their mouth. The water color was exactly the same on Saturday 3/12 but the were no brown carp caught in the area that day so I have no pictures from day two. You will notice there is a slight stain. In late winter/early spring I always welcome a light stain because it tends to warm up faster. On the lower end of the lake the water temp 3/11 and 12 was 49 at day light and 50-51 as the day got longer. Warmer water and water that was more clear and water that had more color could be found in Beaver and Otter.

Thinking about going back to Cumberland Friday but I am undecided...I might check and see if my local lake has any green carp biting...LOL

Water has a good color in those pics. Thanks for all the input guys.
BTW R19, you should just throw away those crankbaits and use dough balls for carp. If it'll help I'll get rid of em for ya!
