Well we made reservations at Lake Cumberland State Park and we'll be down next week. I'm not sure what to expect on the crappie fishing so a little help would be appreciated.
On our lakes up here you will find fish in super shallow water and pitching jigs or jig & cork works well with most fish are relating to visible cover. Fishing 1'-5' deep will get you plenty of fish. Also our water has been muddy for months and is just now starting to clear up a little. Dark baits work well and do bright colors.
Cumberland is a completely different type of lake than what we have up here with steep rock banks from what I can remember and much clearer water. I've heard there is a lot of new submerged cover since the recent refilling of the lake and we're assuming the crappie will be relating to that cover. Generally we assume the water will be much clearer and when fishing clearer water up here we use neutral or natural colors. We'll probably use some minnows too.
If anyone could help with any general info on the fishing it would be greatly appreciated. I'm not looking for your spots just a little guidance to get us started.
Thanks in advance to anyone responding.
