Thread: Cumberland report

Yeah, I guess the grass always looks greener doesn't it? Wolf I haven't tried yet. I scouted it a bit back in December of last year and if you go past Alligator2 and hang a right there looks to be some decent crappie water, but like I said I didn't fish it yet. If the weather holds out this weekend maybe I'll give it a try and let you know how it was. It would sure be nice to be able to put the boat in the water 3 minutes from my place than trailer to Green river, or Fishing creek.

One of my biggest learning curves is fishing the deep, mostly clear water. I'm used to fishing the shallow, flat muddy water of KY lake and Green river where you're picking up fish out in the open water usually between 8-12 feet deep. LC sure seems like a departure from my norm.

Slabeye, I'm having the same feeling right now that you had years ago. I've been proficient at catching crappie for years, but now that I'm settled in on LC I feel like I don't know a thing. It's either technique or location, and from what I'm hearing there are fish to be had on the west end, so obviously it's my technique. I'm starting to wonder if I need to leave my spider rig poles in the garage and start casting to the willows, or maybe just spider rig deeper than what you would at other places. Not sure, but like you probably experienced old habits die hard and it's hard to give up on what has worked for so long at other places. It sure isn't working here though.

I think it not only the deep clear water. Growing up fishing green it is the difference between white and black crappie. To me white crappie is easier to figure out. Black crappie is different animal to me. To me seems like white crappie have more of a seasonal pattern and are pretty much in same place or area at green anyway. Black patterns changes from week to week or day to day...
