Short first trip for 2025 turned into Lake Cumberland smallmouth beat down!

With only a couple hours to fish, we made the best of it and turned out to be a Lake Cumberland beat down. Smallmouth after Smallmouth. It was an amazing way to start the year. #bass #garmin

Whoohoo looks like a fun time!!!

Cumberland got some fish for sure… a lot of people have a problem finding fish because the lake is so massive.. and they get it the main lake and cast all day and never get a bite…
So what I do is get in a creek that’s smaller, find some structure and fish on top , fish in the middle and fish deep and see where they hit!!! Lived in Russell County my whole life… my favorite places to fish is Caney Fork, lily creek and Alligator….
Looks like you guys were doing pretty good on the Small mouths..

@davidjessee7701 thank you. I'm from Science Hill but have relocated to Williamsburg Kentucky. Spend a lot of time at laurel, cumberland, Woods Creek, and Dale Hollow. Out of all of them, I definitely feel cumberland is the better pattern ran lake once figured out.
