I hope this works!
This is sad, I guess it is better now thatn latter. How much lower is she going? The run off is going into Barkley Lake. I can tell that the water is running over its normal winter stage. Is there a time frame they are trying to get the water out? I hope she comes back soon! THE BANDIT
How long is this gonna last?
Their holding the water here too!! Everybody better look out!! Got a feeling we"ll be bombarded with all Cumberlands Boaters this year.
My friends at Cave Run are expecting an increase in boaters also.
For those who ask, the water is falling atleast 4ft before monday feb.12th(its fallen 2 since the pics)...and this work on the dam is expected to last atleast 5 years and maybe longer.
At the end of the dock at full pool, it is approx. 45ft deep. and the lake is approx. 41ft below full pool now, so this area of the lake will see nothing but a river chanel(if that) for 5-7 years.
Here is a link that has the lake level and much more information if anyone is interested. Has some articles about the drawdown, and the whole dam situation;) .http://lakecumberland.com/
You guys can keep the extra people ....dont send em to laurel river lake...PLEASE dont!
Chigger, LOL -dont really want em here on the Hollow either!! Just figure we"ll get em ,The dams only 25 miles from here!!
WON,T THE FISH BE BUNCHED UP IN THAT SHALLOW WATER ?
ARE THEY CHANGING THE LIMITS OR IS THAT NOT GOING TO BE A PROBLEM ?
:confused:

Frank, I dont think this will be a big problem since there is no way to launch a boat. This area will be flatbottom johnboat or wading:eek: .
Dennis, Laurel is right on the interstate(75), and im expecting the recreational type people to flood the area. Oh well I guess there goes my summertime walleye fishing. Laurel is super crowded in the summer anyway, without all the extra.
I hope this doesnt cause parking problems and also more accidents. Not slinging mud, but the northern people dont respect our state's waterway's at all, much less the fishermen.
Hey, let's not blame all northern people. You guys are lucky the gov't built these lakes in your areas. Our biggest lake here in SW Ohio is only about 2600 acres. If you think it gets crowded there, just be thankful you have at least a few nice size lakes to go to. I know I'd trade those lakes in a minute.
If you're refering to the pleasure boaters, I find most to be a little self absorbed to not notice anything but themselves no matter where they're from. There's just a heck of alot of them up here.
crappiemax, thats what I meant, the pleasure boaters,seadoo's, tuber's,etc.
It just so happens 90% of those are from north of the ohio river. I realize tax dollars established and upkeep these water's,its theirs the same as mine. It's just the fact that they all pour in here! As said though if alabama had no large lake's those folks would migrate north.......thats why I stated NOT SLINGING MUD!! Didnt mean to offend anyone. Im sure you realize how it is...trying to fish with all the traffic and these runnabout people(joy riders) will drive circle's around a fisherman, just to piss em off.
Chigger, I'm not offended.... just didn't want to be lumped in with them:eek: . You guys ought to be glad you don't share you home water with them. Up here there is no escape. I think they should have left the docks where they were and let the pleasure boats sit high and dry, maybe you could fish a year or two in peace.:D
Evey year I take a trip to Wiess Lake in Ala. and Ky Lake. It's a pleasure to fish those big waters. We were just planning a trip to Cumberland when we got the word on the darn dam leaking.
Hopefully, your season will be good and the invasion will be mild but remember us poor "northers" are stuck with the whole fleet while you only get a few stragglers.:mad:
Chigger, Yea the pleasure boaters & jetski"s are a real pain! We"ve already got a ton of em in good weather!!I cant imagine what it will be like this year!!!!
