Cumberland Cats
I have been in Nashville for 15 years but have not really ever had much of a chance to fish. My cousin recently moved here on Cumberland between Old Hickory Dam and downtown Nashville. We decided we wanted to get out and run some limb lines to catch a mess of catfish.
Now, being from south Louisiana, catching river cats on limb lines and trot lines has been something I have done since I was little, but never on a river like this.
Needless to say, we did not do very well.
We tried limb lines at various depths from 18" to 5'. We used gold fish, shiners, tadpoles, and chicken livers. We also had 7/0 hooks, which we believe is too big.
Can anyone else give us some tips on what has been successful for them?
