Full Moon/Lake Cumberland

[mhall]

Fished from 11:30 last night till around 5:30 this morning, put in at Fall Creek. I currently have 13 walleye,2 mudcats and 6 stripers to clean in the cooler. Biggest walleye was 27inches and we had 4 more over 24. Biggest rockfish was 38 inches.funny thing is......we didnt have a fish untill around 2:30, then after that it was lights out.At one point i caught a fish or got a blowup on 4 strait casts. This is probably one of my top 3 best trips on cumberland (not counting bass). This kinda sounds crazy but all i know is i got about 2 hours of cleaning fish to do. Caught them on thundersticks, live pointers, Gizz 4 and on a rico. My buddy had a hook with a split shot and when we would snag a shad he would let it drift, this netted our biggest walleye and the 2 catfish.Most of our fish came off moonlite banks.....but only in certain parts. We found the pattern like i said about 2:30 and ran it in 3 different spots......

Not rying to be a jerk here but unless you had three people in your boat 6 stripers were illegal. Two per day per fisherman, just pointing this out as you may be unaware. You were also one too many on the Eyes to. Six per day per fisherman.

Thanks for the great report. I hope to put it to good use tonight. I'll let you know how we do. One of the best 3 nights????? Dang, you've had some good days then.

Thanks for the report. Was that central or Eastern time?

What time did you get your bites? I will get to fish Thurs./Fri night, but I have to work Friday and Saturday and don't want to waste alot of time fishing the slow times.

Thanks

Sorry Thunderstorm, but that "Have to work!" comment made me LMAO. If you were any good, you could fish and 7.5.

I put that in here just for your enjoyment. I've gotten pretty good lately, but I like to save time for a two hour nap/day.

I am heading down for the next three days. I plan on fishing Beaver Creek, Lily and Greasy. I can't watch the moon I am just going fishing when I can. Report coming soon!

Went last night and saw not much shad movement.........caught 1 striper but lots of walleye................

Which general area of the lake you were fishing?
The lower, middle or upper end?
The reason i ask is because this lake can be so different just from one end to the other end of it and can change from night to night.
You can almost draw a line across the lake at cumberland point and what happens east of that may be completely different than what happens west of it. We went the 12th on the lower end and had no shad or fish activity to speak of all night but i heard on the other end it was great that night, go figure! Also, was there much shad activity where you caught the walleye?

I think this weekends woes were related to the cold rain earlier in the week, along with a mostly north wind, as well as a bright moon all night.
