Since I'm fishing the classic. I'm wondering what weight will it take for 2 days. I'm guessing 20 to 21 pounds. Oh yeah 8 straight days of thunderstorms and rain. What ya guy's think?

Since no one wants to chime in. Im praying I can catch 9 to 9.5lbs each days to hang with the big boys. That's a 1.3lb average.
Good luck!
Best of luck to you
Thanks guys
good luck to you
I took a look and it's on Lake Cumberland if I remember right. I used to have a client that had a houseboat on Cumberland come duck hunt with me every year and told me about the crappie fishing over there. Going by that and past performances on Cumberland, I'll say with 15 lbs you will be real happy with your finish.
Good luck to you.
Bring 7 fish to the scale. Right.
It is, indeed, on Lake Cumberland ... in south central Ky. I don't know what weights will be necessary to win, but it will be an open field for just about everyone that fishes it. Cumberland is a 52K acre lake, at normal Summer Pool ... but, prior to this year, it's been a 30K acre lake for the previous 6yrs, due to work on the dam. The water level was pulled down ~ 40' and held there over those years. Wherever possible, new growth of trees & brush sprang up along the banks & back in the backs of creeks ... during those years. Now that the lake is back at normal capacity, a lot of those formerly dry banks and creeks are underwater ... essentially making the top 40ft of the water, a brand new lake.
Whether that will be a positive or negative for the tournament ... :dono ... but, for the near future, it should be a boon for all species of fish in the lake, especially Crappie.
To all the CUSA Classic anglers ..... luck2ya !!

I have fished Cumberland for crappie and it is one big deep clear watershed. Very hard to get anything going. Locals fish the bluffs with lights at night. Good luck and do us proud!
I'm assuming its a 2 day tournament. 7 fish each day. I think 7.5 lbs per day will do you good. Maybe I'm wrong but that's my guess.Quote:

Good luck buddy whatever you catch.
Wilbur we gotta hook up man. We live probably 10 minutes from each other

You will be surprised. If you think it will take 7.5 lbs each day to win. Somebody will bring 12-14lbs each day.
I won't be surprised. I just went by listed past tournaments.Quote:

We had a Fruit Jar Tourney at Cumberland on Mar 30th ... here's the thread on the results :
http://www.crappie.com/crappie/kentu...urney-results/
The lake is currently at about the same level as it was then (about 6' lower, in fact) and falling. It has been falling since June, as indicated by this chart : Lake Cumberland Water Level
I don't know the accuracy of the "fishing reports" from this site, but they seem to ring true from what I've been hearing : Nashville District > Locations > Lakes > Lake Cumberland > Recreation > Fishing > Daily Fishing Update
