Lake Cumberland Bass Report

[FlyLie]

Well, I gave it a shot this am for a couple of hours. Got a later start than expected, didn't get on the water until ~7:30. Launched at Pumpkin Creek and went around to Greasy, and then down to a cove on the right, just before the J Town water intake. Looked good, worked it hard! Should have stayed home.

Next, went down past the intake, to that shallow gravel bank on the left. Tried that for a while with no luck. Wood/Grass debris was blown all along this bank, 20 feet from shore line to creek. Had to clean lure every cast. Enough of this, so's just take a boat ride and check out the new LC at 700 foot plus.

Went all the way to the back of Greasy. Strange to see what were 20 foot trees with their tops sticking above the water line. Could't resist and made a few cast into the trees. Naw, nothing.

So best I can report are on are lake conditions. Water temps this morning ranged from 68 to 70 degrees from the mouth to the back of greasy creek. Water was stained, but not muddy. HOWEVER, LOTS OF WOOD AND DEBRIS on the water; BOAT BOW BREAKERS AND PROP BUSTERS So if you are on the lake within the next few days, take it slow and consider adding a Chain Saw to your tackle box! Not like Vegas, what in the creeks doesn't stay in the creeks!

Good Fishing to all...

Sitting back and reflecting, over all was a good morning. As always, we are sometime humbled by the fish, BUT I'LL TELL YOU THIS: The Fishing Musicians - "Can't catch a fish" song - YouTube
