Cumberland report

Don't slow down the jerkbait, speed it up they are getting to good of a look at it. I had the same problem and was told to speed up the retrive, it works never had many onlookers after that.

You know I tried that and I agree normally it works, but not yesterday for some wierd reason. Last year around this time of year I was ripping the jerkbait so fast and furious I had to almost rub down with Ben Gay after an all dayer and they were ripping the rod out of my hand. Sometimes I fish it like I'm trying to keep it away from them but yesterday it was to no avail. Oh well still squeaked out a pretty decent day I guess. I did watch that 21 inch come up and smash it though with three feet of line off the end of the rod, can't believe that fish didn't break me off, she went to China when I set the hook.

Did you guys fish East end or West end just curious, seems like I got bit better in the off colored water than the real clear water.

You may try tweeking you color a bit on the jerkbait. I found when fish will barely be hooked or follow it to the boat the color is just a bit off and they don't hit it or barely hit it. If you had another jerkbait similar but not the same color, maybe that would have worked.

Good point. Also, you can down size. Try using the Gizz 4 like a jerk bait. SM love them.
