it has been a lil slow this year and it seems the fish are not as healthy as they use to be. I caught a 20in smally this past weekend and it didnt even weigh 4 pound.

Day time bite has been good all year.. Up until the rains came 20- 30 fish a day was not uncommon , with 5-10 keeper bass the norm. BUT the night bite has been slow for some.

You are winning most tourney's this year down there with that kinda output. If you aren't fishing any you should be cause your numbers sound better than most I've heard this year. I see you are a local, sounds like you gott'em figured out, keep up the good work.Originally Posted by Jbyrd

"SO SO", KVD does not win 7 out of 11 with 2 seconds and 8 Big fish out of 11 tourneys. Sure wish I could fish "SO SO" in tourneys, I would never go back to working for somebody else.

HA HA I wish I didn't have to go back to work only problem is we have to wait until late july until we can catch them like that. But have smoked them all of august and sept. Got our last night tournament this weekend !!!!! But they stay on this pattern until mid november even during the day then we have to look for them again!!!!!

Of course you must understand the lm Bite has been dead on cumberland. So we always fish for smallmouth. This lake is FULL of 4lb class fish you just have to fish different , keep thinking you only need 3-4 bites and yes sometimes 1 good one is good enough for big fish and second ( 4.5 -5 lbs). But when you find them they are schooled up by size. Many a time we pull up on a spot and catch 3-5 fish all between 3.5-4 lbs.But you may have to fish 20 spots to find them....

well the way it seems, td176 only catches fish when everyone else can't

was out there today...pulled up to my first spot and caught 15-20 lm sm and spots....had a small limit in the boat in 30 minutes or less....then the sun came up and it was like you flipped a switch....caught a few small fish the rest of the day
on a side note i did catch the first two stripers of my life....both in about 4' on a crankbait....now i see what all the striper fuss is about...using a light action baitcasting setup you might as well have tied a freight train on the end of my line....but i landed em both and they were a load of fun....woulda guessed the smaller one at 8-10lbs and the bigger one around 12 maybe...having never caught one had a hard time judging them....but the striper fisherman should have been on em today cuz i all saw em up and feeding all day long....
