Typical spring time fishing on Lake Cumberland. Water temperature is 52-56 degrees depending on where you are, the lake has good stain and the fish are biting. Spent two days this weekend catching around 20 fish a day cranking points, large chunk rod pockets inside of creeks and catching fish off transition areas from small shale rock to large chunks.
