They're flat catchin' some fish out of Cumberland right now regardless. . .of course this didn't work so well for me, I was there Sunday and Monday. Sunday I was up in wolf and caney creeks and caught a few short fish with the water hitting 62degrees. Monday, I was in pumpkin pretty much all day and had a decent catchin' day several spots, several smalleys (one keeper on with a long distance release), some largemouth (one about 16"), two stripers (one 21" and another 22"), and a 20 1/4" walleye all on a jerkbait and that water didn't get above 57 degrees all day.

Yes russ those few guys did catch a few . but look at the rest of the field . Look at how many boaters blanked. And look at what it took to get a check on the boater and no-boater side. The fishing is overall tough.
