Dave is right Ky has had a good year and other lakes have had moments. Also some lakes have been very good for species other than bass. All that being said the lakes I usually fish have been off a bit. Cumberland has been up and down more downs for me than up mainly because of crazy weather and timing due to the weather. Lake has Yo Yo'd up and down so much it doesn't know what to do. Did have a few stellar days though, with one big sack of heavy smallmouth. Spring Striper night bite was horrible this year, and most guys will agree with that. Overall I think as a whole fishing is down this year for most folks.
