Went out to Irvine lake yesterday and met up with fishingdachronarch201e7. This was the first time out on my new Cumberland and man it was definitely better then expected. It was great being about to kick around and travel with ease compared to my caddis. The tube was way bigger then I thought it was going to be, it felt like a full size suv. It had more then enough storage capacity for all my gear with space to spare. I would highly recommend the Cumberland to anyone looking into tubing or contemplating it.
Yesterday was the first time to Irvine. I thought it was going to be a huge lake with a bunch of coves but I guess the water level was way down from prior years. Anyways got there around 6am and inflated my tune while waiting in line . Went in to the west shore and got in the water around 645. Kicked out and got a feel for the tube and stared tying up my rigs. The first fish came on powers bait within about 40 minutes of the start of the day. I was trolling the power bait around while casting jigs or throwing the drop shot. Fished up the buoy line towards the dam then kicked back closer towards the middle of the lake. I got no action out deep but stuck one more drop shorting back by the buoy line. The majority of the fish I saw landed were within 15 feet of either side of the buoy line on night crawlers. Water had maybe 3-4 ft visibility, temp was 53, fished mainly between 17-26 feet of water and most of the fish where close to the bottom.
In all 2 fish for the first time out so I can't complain. I apologize for the poor pis but here you go. Thanks for reading.
