Ranger Bob ... you must have been somewhere other than where I was on Cumberland, Saturday ... the wind was howling so bad, I never even bothered to try & cast a jig. All the Crappie we caught were in deep water brush, 15-25fow, and hanging close to the brush. Caught a lot of Bass, and a half dozen large Bluegill, along with a few Crappie over the weekend ... but, boat control was a joke on Saturday.

started at daylight and caught most of our fish before the wind got real bad.my fishing partner went back sun and had over 40.alot of those came from deep water on minnows.

CP, I am with you...lol Was in the upper end of Fishing Creek Saturday and had 5 keepers on minnows in 20 - 25 FOW. Started shallow and went deep and couldn't find them. Good job Ranger Bob!

ranger bob, if you didnt find the crappie i bet you found lots of bluegills at the upper end

went back to Cumberland today and took my brother.fished from 7-1 and ended up with 30 nice keepers.caught all casting jigs.didnt get a single fish on minnows or spider rigging except bluegills.

slabeye,i have not been on upper end for about a month,been fishing lower end.but if I put a minnow out the bluegills wear him out

I will say this for the Bluegill I caught at Cumberland, last weekend ... they were big enough to easily fillet (>8"), and they gave up a filet that was as thick as the 10-11" Crappie we caught, just not as long.
They were delicious, too !!

Like I told Chucky ... if we'd been fishing with wax worms & popeyes, we would have tore the Bluegill population a new one
