Another Opportunity for that FNF Rod

Great find. Maybe that will help me get a little fishing in with the long rod this year since the weather isn't cooperating through the winter.

One question - are there that many white bass in Cumberland? I'm guessing you mean the river. I'd say Herrington and Taylorsville would be prime targets for this type of fishing.

There are no white bass in the Cumberland River.....

Richy richy richy, There are white bass in the cumberland river, not tons of them, because they are not catch and release fish for a lot of the guys who catch them.A couple of yrs ago I saw tweo fishermen with a stringer of small whites that must have 50 fish between them, and NOT one over7 inches long. They actually were a nuisance around the dam.But they run in cycles. I caught some decent ones before the dam fiasco. Crocus and marrowbone creek have some decent fish in them at times, but again, some guys over harvest them. Marrowbone creek also has or had a nice spoyyed bass population[spotted or ky bass], but again catch and release isn't practised that much, as far as I've seen.As far as eating fish is concerned, white bass dont exactly rate very high as table fare, but they are great fighting fish for their size.

Looks like those ideas from the article would work well for the Ohio River too. Might be interesting if you hooked a good Hybrid though!
