Cumberland today
Fished upper end & had 12 all about same size so i checked one & it went a pound &a quarter. Had a few throw backs too all caught vertical jigging from 15 to 25 feet deep. Tried casting & even though they'd chase we never had a hit so we vertical jigged instead. Main lake was really dirty with creeks clearing up some as we ran up but still a lot of stain. Fished baits i made with the fatguys 2" BA shad in hot pink with chartreuse tail & a chartreuse berkley crappie nibble. It was slow & we never got bit until late evening,

Maybe that’s why I’m not doing any better than I am.Originally Posted by BuckeyeCrappie
I make all of my own plastics both for crappie & bass.

It was definitely slow. When you can’t see a bait a foot under the surface of Cumberland it’s pretty bad. It’s probably a lot clearer down lake so I may go scout it next time. That’s all I’m doing anyway is side scanning looking for trees & brush piles with fish on them where I’ve never fished in most cases & then turning around & fishing it. It’s not like I have any honey holes with crappie fishing being so new to me so I’m probably not doing that bad actually.
