So its that time of year where my group of friends and I start taking 2 or 3 trips to lake Cumberland. Out of the group I'm the only one who fishes so when we head out to the lake they go post up in the pontoon and party while I go fish. Ill be honest out of the probably 8+ trips ive been to Cumberland its kicked my butt all but once. The one time I was able to do well was when I ran to fishing creek where the water was shallower and more stained which is way more of what I'm accustom to. I typically fish lakes like green or nolin etc.
We will be putting in at alligator II I believe and weather looks like roughly 90 and partly cloudy. Guessing water temp will be low - mid 80s maybe. I don't want to make some crazy 100 mile run or anything so if you have some hints on where to go or techniques I'm all ears. I'm definitely not proficient at these deep clear lakes especially in the summer heat. Really wish I could get them to go early or late in the season but that's not going to happen any time soon.
Thanks
