Lake Cumberland Night Bite

[bsg2121]

We fished Wolf Creek area. We did not hear any alewives until 1 am. They were very sporatic and were favoring the shady side of the bank. We heard a few fish chasinng but no blow ups. As it got later we did hear more alewives. Eventually moved closer to the Jamestown area and found similar conditions. There we did hear 1 blow up and had 4 hits around 4 am but did not land. We were using a red fin and a jointed red fin. Try again tonight.

Just to give you a report on how we did Sat 5.21. We headed out of Jamestown at 10. Heard activity with ale wives and some fish splashing immediately at the cut through and the deep side of the island. Had a couple hits but did not catch anything. Fished a small creek accross from the island from 12-2 but there was little activity. Went back to the cut through area which had died down but caught 1 walleye. Fished the mouth of the creek at Jamestown and the coves at the mouth from 3-5:30. Lots of activity. Ale wives were up and we heard about 10 blow ups. Caught 4 short stripes and 3 little small mouth. Missed as many as we caught and 1 nice stripe got off at the boat. Those couple of hours were a lot of fun but the fish seemed to all be small. We do this trip annually and have never had so many small ones as we have had in the last 2 years. Maybe it is just the weekend we picked? Try again next year. Both nights the activity seemed to really pick up from 3-6. We used red fins and jointed red fins with the most success.
