Cumberland colors

Mhall - How recently have some of your compadre's fished the lake? And were they fishing on the weekends or during the middle of the week?

As we all know, Cumberland is to dag gone popular in that it attracts a huge population of pleasure boaters, the Ohio Navy, etc...I'd say, or maybe I should say "I'M HOPING" Cumberland hasn't started kicking into gear until now, or maybe sometime within the next week or two or three anyway.

I fished it hard last weekend, day and night, and while I caught some fish I found it very slow. Same reports as others as well is what I had heard. That lake is notorious for getting going later than other lakes. Last year I waited for that magic fall bite I was used to happening and it seemed to never come. Hopefully this year is different. I know it's early yet and I'm impatient and trying to hurry it. Water temps from upper fifties to middle sixties has been my honey time in the past, we shall see. I'll hang tough and give it my best that's all a guy can do. Tightlines to ya Mark.
