Well I saved some gas and went to Cumberland Saturday. I caught about 30 Kentucky bass and no largemouth or smallmouth. I was throwing a fluke or a strait tailed worm shallow. The Kenucky's were swarming the shallow pockets. You could see 6 or 8 follow the worm sometimes. Never caught any really large ones though but I could see fish in the 3-4 lb range but they ignored my offerings. A zoom strait tailed worm seemed to work the best. I left the hook exposed and skipped it under trees and branches with a spinning rod for the most part. Hope this helps, they must be about to spawn. They are thick back in the pockets of creeks on the lower half.
