Arigs. Cranking stained water in creeks. Some being caught on ned rigs, shakey heads, jigs & jerkbaits. Look for bait. No shad no fish.

Thanks Less Young!

I caught a nice one Saturday morning about half way up indian creek mid morning while striper fishing. Fish was about 60 feet from the bank maybe 10 deep. Might not be much help trowing plugs but maybe throw on the other side of the boat every now and then.

Did you catch any stripers?

Spent 7-8 hours or so on Cumberland 3/22 and the smallmouth never did tell me what they wanted so it must still be a secret. However the LM and spots did do a little talking. LOL

Last Saturday in a high school tournament i think all the Small mouth weighed in were caught on a jerkbait

Sunday it was a suspending jerk bait.
monday it was something else I never tried.

cant remember. Maybe one. At 28'. Bait has been hard to catch. I catch off the boat out in the lake.

Anybody have any idea how the large and small mouth bites are at Lake Cumberland. Fishing there for the first time Friday and Saturday. Any ideas how deep the largemouth are? Water temp? I know it's a deep clear lake. Are crawdad cranks baits doing well now? How about drop shots and slow rolling spinner baits deep? What is the main bait fish in late March early April? shad, perch, bluegill?

Thanks in advance

no secret to catching big smallmouth on Cumberland. Get some medium shiners and fish rock walls and ledges with deep water close by anywhere from wolf creek to the dam. Since December we have boated 4 over 5 lbs, 13 over 4 lbs and to many over 3 lbs to count. You will catch a few smaller than 3 lbs every once in a while but your average fish will be about 3 lbs.
