fishing on cumberland

[opie13]

How was the smallmouth fishing on Cumberland this past weekend and did the water come up alot and get any color?

[Don Smith]

Took 5 Browns Saturday that weighed in at 19.80 to win out of Conley, 2nd 18.80 and 3rd 17.5. 3rd was a bag with 4 browns and 1 15" Largemouth, 2nd, all black fish with 2 6 pounders in the bag.

Bags and bags of fish, its about as good as I have seen it in years right now.

As for Color? You gots loads of it coming down the lake right now, and who knows when or where it will stop. Its up 6 feet before all this rain, and I suspect it to rise for several days from the looks of Buck Creek (crossed it today at 9 am and its well out of its banks).

Next tournament is February 4th, out of Conley Bottom. Same as usual, 80 per boat, 100 percent payback. I'll post all the info soon.

Went this Sunday. Yeah that's right THIS Sunday. Unbelievable
frog choking rain. Thank God for Gore-tex.

Boated only three smallies during the day.
We had a 4.6, a 3.8 and a two pounder. We tried both the FNF and shinners. The two big fish came on shinners and didnt miss any fish either. It was tough fishing for us, not to mentiion the weather. Caught both big fish on main lake points.

remember...eat sleep fish!

That is some nice bags of fish. Do you know how they were they catching them or what type of baits? Just curious as to what the pattern might have been. I'm sure it would be hard to get to much info out of anybody on fish like that.

I know the either the 2nd or 3rd placer caught thier sack on the Fly...where or what color I do not know.

Had 1 good fish, thats it for me, lol. Partner caught a few on Friday, but they just didn't bite for us on Saturday. I do a much better job of weighing the fish! After you guys catch them that is, lol.
