So I took the day off to do some fishing, seeing how we had almost duplicate conditions from exactly one year ago; the Cumberland is high, running fast and muddy, and we had a recent warming trend...so I figured that I would have some luck fishing the marina lagoon like last year. Nope. Not a single bite the entire time I was out today. The only difference between today and last year is that the water temperature is about 6 degrees colder than it was last year. There were several people fishing from the bank and also 5 or 6 boats, all fishing the marina and no one was doing any good. What a difference from one year to the next...but it was still better than being at work
And today was the first time I got completely skunked in all of 2013 LOL. Below is my report from Christmas eve day of last year:

I started out fishing a Senko, a jig and a crankbait right at the edge of the main river current break near the riprap and the big steps, thinking the fish would be hanging there to get out of the main current but nope. I also made a round of the marina, fishing the riprap with various lures, and also threw a blue fox silver inline spinner, a little George and a redeye shad hoping for at least one white bass but absolutely nothing today. Water temps were around 45.
