Jimmy,
I was fishing the big lagoon at the new marina in Clarksville (Liberty Park); my guess is that the strong current in the Cumberland was pushing the fish into the marina where there was calm water. As for patterns, I honestly have no clue as I'm still relatively new to river fishing and fishing in this area, period. The fish were moving around a lot, I started out catching them between the fountains they have in the water and the rip rap; then once the action died down I slow-trolled, fan casting until I started catching them again. Sometimes they were close to the rip rap, then 5 minutes later I'd catch them by casting towards the middle of the lagoon. On a side note, I really need to figure out the settings on my fish finder because throughout all of that, I never saw anything that even remotely resembled a fish on the graph.
