    Two and I still would not run at high speed because the water is only 2 foot deep in some spots. Up close to the dam is about 8 foot but to the right as you face the dam is a hump that comes up about 4 foot.

    Dave, do they stick to the schedule ? If they say 2 generators from 7 AM till 8 PM do they stay with it ?

    Sorry I haven't been on here in a few days,(busy night fishing), but yeah they are pretty good about sticking to the schedule. You have about 30 minutes to get your boat out before the water gets to low and makes it a job to do so.

    Dave, I don't mean to hijack a post, but are you crappie fishing at night, and if so, are you catching any? I've gone twice in the last two weeks on Cumberland. The first night we caught several but all small. Last Friday night, we caught 12 but they were nice. All came about 12 feet deep in 28-30 ft of water.

    Fishing on Dale Hollow. Catching some, but not like last year. Most docks have started turning off lights and the crappie are harder to find. Been sitting over brush piles and catching a few. Went to Green last night but only caught dinks. What end of C-land are you fishing at? Not having much luck towards the dam.
