The whites are hitting all up and down the Cumberland. Fish the current seams, any cuts in the bank, mostly during generation. Caught our limits Sunday on a bluebird sky day. Bunch of big crappie too.

You can catch them below old hickory dam right now near the steps. On the generator side.

Oh and another question, what are you guys using? In the previous years ive done very good with rattle traps. Last i didnt do so well but i didnt start fishing for them until mid April, after they spawned.
