[7mmDeathPunch]

Has anyone begun to fish for white bass on the cumberland? im trying to hit them when their just right, when their schooling up through the tributaries making it easy for me to catch my limit on a daily basis. if anyone has been fishing the cumberland let me know. thanks guys

Not been on the cumberland but have been on the Stones and caught a few. Went to Pickwick last weekend and didn't catch anything but largemouth but some dang gooderns!

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.
