Lake Cumberland 2/15/23

Fished Wednesday ahead of the coming cold front. Got to the water at 11:00a, left at 3:30p. Surface temp was 45.7 - 47 degrees. Caught 16 crappie and a large bluegill. Kept 9 crappie 11-12.5 inches. Five were males. Fish were 9-10 feet deep in 12-15 fow. All caught on 1/8 oz jigs, either monkey milk or blue ice.

If I can ask, what technique were you using? Single pole, long line, etc.

Single pole. Mostly vertical jigging or pitching to livescope targets. Some of the fish were on stickups, some were just roaming.

Thanks. I thought about the upper end this weekend but that's probably comletely out of the question.

I think it will be rough this weekend. Water is up 8' in the last couple of days. I am hoping to get back out there Monday/Tuesday but don't know what to expect. Be careful if you go. Probably be a lot of wood/trash floating around.

If i do go it may be around Jamestown. I know absolutely nothing about where to look for them there, but side imaging takes care of that problem. May go to green too since they didn't get near the rain we did if i can find out how bad it is.

You would be correct : according to this website chart ( Lake Levels in Kentucky, United States ) Green has come up almost 10ft in the last 3 days.
