HI guys and gals hope everyone has great and blessed holidays .I am planning on trying some new lakes and have been looking at Cumberland lake and was wondering if any one had some tips to get me started never been on that body of water but they are catchin some nice ones so I hear any help or advice is greatly appreciated may God bless:pray
All I know is .... fish the standing timber back in the creeks.
Luck2ya !!
tyvm sir I will deff. heed that advice
Was on Cumberland Friday bass and striper fishing. We caught about 8 monster crappie biggest 2.15 lb. Caught them on bass jerk baits that only run about 2 to 3 feet deep about halfway back in major creeks on rocky steep points. We had two keeper stripers and a lot of spots. Released all the crappie and bass. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...dd6cad2bf6.jpg
so that's where the big ones are hiding.
heads of the creeks have lots of small fish holding at about 2.5 ft
Cumberland is a new Lake now with all the cover
Stripers are way up in the heads of the Creeks, if the shad are there so are the Stripers
Stripers were all I fished for 30yrs (Guide)
Trying to learn the Crappie habits now
Man that is a hog. Congrats

Fished all week before thanksgiving and the lake was way down. Was in the Burnside area. Fished both rivers and pittman creek without much to show for it. Used live shad and minnows. They were dropping the lake like crazy at the time. I plan on going back the week after Christmas to give the stripers a try again
ty for info i was thinking of putting in at clifty creek ?will that be uable at winter pool?
kygofish,
That is a pig.
Last Friday I caught some nice crappie in the Beaver Creek area about 2 ft deep around trees. Ended up with 17 but didn't really find them until lunch. Spent most of the day fishing way to deep on slides and logs. Most of the fish I caught in deep water (15 to 30 ft) were small. I was using minnows.
might be too low, but I've never launched there.
Most of the Ramps were extended while the Lake was dow at 689 above sea level
It's at 691 now, 1 ft above normal winter pool
Striper are in upper 1/3 of the Major creeks.
There should be some on the Main Lake between Wolf and Beaver on the surface .
Small schools were on top in Pitman yesterday
I'll be in Fishing Creek tomorrow bottom fishing with 8" Gizzard shad :biggrin
fun day, 2 man limit on striper, had numerous big smallmouthAttachment 253804Attachment 253805
I meant 680 not 689Quote:
