. Lake Cumberland

[daymere]

Lake Cumberland fishing report. The recent rains and cool temps has the surface temp down to 77 degrees. The smallmouth are starting to bite topwater already due to the cool surface temps. Pop R's and poppers are a good choice for smallmouth. Most of the topwater action will be the first and last hour of the day. During the day you will need to fish with light line and deep. The catfish are starting to become more active during the day. They have been caught 15 to 25 feet deep in small hollows with muddy banks. The walleye have been biting best on diving crankbaits long line trolled against steep rocky points on the main lake. These fish are harder to pattern because they are suspended. The bluegill are still biting good on crickets and live bait. The crappie fishing will be picking up soon due to the low water and cooling temps. They will be in the head of the major creeks 5 to 25 feet deep. Good luck and keep a tight line.
