lake Cumberland water tempuratures?

[OutInKy]

Since I'm really just getting into fishing seriously, and only having my Helix since spring, I don't know what "normal" is. Is the amount of bait in Cumberland normal? Right now the heads of the creeks I've been in are absolutely loaded with shad. It is almost annoying when crappie fishing because there is so much bait I can't see much else on side scan.

Normal this time of year!! All sizes of threadfins and gizzards will be up there shallow on mud flats.
