Cumberland River (Clarksville area) 30 May 2013
 

Due to being busy at work and home, I haven't checked out this forum in a while and see I have about 5 pages of posts to go through!
Now that the river here in Clarksville is back to normal, I took the day off yesterday and did a little morning fishing. I put in at the Marina around 5:15 am (no one else out there, just me, my boat and the sunrise :)) and stayed on the right side, hugging the shore, while letting the slow current float me downstream for a couple of miles. The fish were very tight to cover and although I threw spinnerbaits, redeye shad, shakey head, jigs and even a TN version of the A-rig, the only thing I caught fish on was a black, 4" Senko, fished weightless and texas-rigged. Around 10 that wind started kicking so I headed back to the ramp because the last time I fished in real windy conditions, I had the hardest time getting the boat back on the trailer because the wind kept blowing me sideways LOL. Here are a couple of pics...

Looks like you made up for those days missed in one day....LOL. Good report and nice looking fish.

I was going to head back out today. But I got up bright and early, and when I checked the weather, they said "Expect thunderstorms to begin at 6:15 am". Well, here it is 8:45 and not a drop of rain yet. LOL

Nice fish!!

great report and some fine fish! glad to see the water back down to normal. regards.

Thanks for the great report...............woody

Good report. The stick bait is a remarkable post-spawn bait.

Nice !!! <'TK><
 

Thanks! The Senko is my confidence lure and I've caught more fish on it than any of the others combined. There's something about a 4", black Senko the bass just can't resist.

Good report. That's a big spot in pic 1958.

It will be interesting to see how the FLW southern divisional goes out of the marina this week. I bet a lot of them will make the long run to Dover and beyond.

Are you fishing the MCBC open this Saturday? If all goes well, I'll be fishing with Tom B.
