Cumberland white bass

[mhall]

I'm no biologist, but there is one thing I have noticed, if there are alewives, there are very few white bass. Alewives when they reach maturity, are about 10 inches long, and they feed on fry, just about the time the white bass spawn, the alewives are also in the same kind of waters, but that is only my guess.

There are many many locals around Cumberland, good fisherman that blame the alwives for Cumberland's WB demise. I personally buy into the theory as well.
