Cumberland River, Clarksville
Hey, I am new to the Clarksville Area. New to the crappie fishing in this area as well. I am in the Army but grew up fishing around and south of Atlanta.
I tried the Cumberland River yesterday and struck out. Caught one very small crappie and was hung up most of the time trying to get to that one small one. I tried fishing up the Red River all the way to the Rail Road tracks. I tried trolling, fished cover, and did some drop off jigging. I saw a lot of fish on the fish finder but when I did hook up they where only shell crackers. I also fished up by the new Marina around the rocks.
I only fished with jigs. Tried Maribou and plastic grubs and tubes.
I would love some suggestions on where to hook up with some slabs!
You are 45 minutes away from great crappie fishing
I been fishing Lake Barkley/Cumberland River around Dover since I retired in 2001. Was a hard-core bass chaser for 40 years, but these speckled fish have ruined me. Send me a PM and I will give you info to jump start your efforts.
