Cumberland Report

[jcb]

Fished Friday in Greasy, Clifty and some main lake bays near Jamestown.

Water temp started out at 62 under clouds and drizzle and ended the day at 68 after 5-6 hours of sun.

Mainly fished soft plastics around pea gravel spawning areas. Watermelon tubes and lizards mostly. Topwater produced a few decent fish before the sun came out. Several of these took 2-3 strikes to get a hookup.

Secondary points and cuts off secondary points were best areas. A first for me was a fat 5 lb. walleye caught on a red Wiggle Wart off the west main lake point heading into Schoolhouse Hollow.

Once the front came through and sun came out, got a lot tougher. Caught lots of fish, but not a lot with size. I'd guess the larger fish are locked down pretty tightly on the beds by now...

We hit it late Friday afternoon. A lot of short hits. Picked up 3 walleye off one point. One on a spinnerbait and two on deep cranks. Bass bite was off, though we did manage some small KY, smallies, and LM, mostly on topwater. Most times they were just swinging at the plug, but not really wanting to eat it. Partner also caught two bluegill on top. Night stripers were more active, though very little indication they were around. Caught them on cranks, topwater, and bucktails.
