Cumberland steam plant to Bumpus Mills Marina

danny i went fishing today at bumpus mills and caught about 12 catfish on shrimp in 4 and 5 foot of water. used a split shot and hook and just drifted. when i left the boat ramp i went south toward the power lines and went in to saline creek i think . john

thanks john, I just picked up some shrimp at wall mart so I'll have to get out there and give it a try.

Hey all, I'm finally gettin back on the water. My fishin buddy has taken off for a bit, so I decided to bring my dad from Wyoming to try some catfishing. Are there any hotspots where i can get some skipjack in the next few days? I thought about trying near Chetham Dam, but I have not fished the dam yet. Is there anywhere else i can try?

I always go there to catch skipjack. Before you go, check this URL

you will find the times they release water for the turbines. It is a bit slow when only one turbine is running, two or more is great. Just be careful, a man and his son drowned there about two weeks ago, that water is no joke, don't forget about the life jacket law either, it is only smart. Good Luck,
