My buddy and I fished a short trip to Lake Cumberland, KY last weekend. We only had one good day and night of fishing because the starter went out. Here's some pictures from Friday night. All but one striper were caught on Gizz 4 deep diving Red Head.

Hey guys, I was wondering how the striper fishing is in the cumberland river tailwaters during the fall season? I was thinking of fishing below the Cordell Hull or Old Hickory Dam on thanksgiving break and doing some trolling and casting. I usually fish on Norris for smallies and occasionally...

Does anyone have any up todate info on Lake Cumberland and The Dam project? I heard they had a kill off. Does that mean all the big fish are gone?

Went to the Steam plant at Cumberland City Tn today. Caught a lot of SkipJack on some hand painted SkipJack jigs.We were using them without the hair for a tail. And they work just as good as with the hair. The Stripers were slow biting but we did catch a few small ones.Were Suspending live bait...

My buddy and I fished Lake Cumberland last week. We fished out of Jamestown Marina. The first day we went up in the back of Greasy Creek to see if there were any shad back there. Came up on a point and found shad all on the surface. We slowly moved up to them just in time to see some...

Just wondering if anyone had any advise about where to get into some skipjack on the river to use for striper bait. I have caught some here and there while trout fishing but have never found big numbers, although I have never targeted them either. I do most of my fishing out of Burkesville, so...

I just inherited a 19' bass boat ( 1996 Ranger 690vs w/ 175 Mariner) from my brother due to him having alzheimer's. I would like to learn to fish for stripers on Lake Cumberland in KY. I know that a lot of people cast for them when the shad are spawning but I am not sure when that is. I also...

I'm heading for Lake Cumberland next weekend. I'm planning for throwing small crankbaits like Gizz 3's and Flitterbaits to match the hatch. I think we will try bigger baits at night like deep diving redhead Gizz 4's. I would love to get into some smallmouths also but the prime target is going...

I'm hearing a lot about Lake Cumberland and I was wondering about the Cumberland river. In KY there's 2 Cumberland rivers I know of .....1 tail waters Lake Berkly the other tail waters lake Cumberland. The Lake Berkly spillway looks pretty interesting. It looks to be at least 15 or 20 miles...

Team Smack went to Lake Cumberland last weekend. Found the stripers in the jumps in the back end of a creek arm. The stripers were keyed in on small 2 inch threadfin shad. The only lure they would hit was the Shallow Gizz 3. We tried Gizz 4's but the stripers would only follow it back to...

I have been striper fishing for going on 15 years all over in fresh and salt water casting lures jigging and trolling artificials and live bait. I was wondering if anybody could tell me if most baitshops at lake cumberland sell shad and skipjack and if i can rely on being able to get it there...

Hey guys. I'm not really new to fishing but I am to the point where I'm tired of trying without some experienced advice. :) I love to fish for anything that will put up a hint of a fight but fell in love with Stripers under the bridge at Langford's Cove. The buggers were small but I'd stay up...

Well just got back today from a couple of nights fishing on lake Cumberland! The shad really didn't come up too strong where we fished, but the first night we did manage to catch 5 stripes and two other fish were lost. The biggest being 20 pounds 7 ounces. One really nice fish hit at the boat...

Just got back from Lake Cumberland last night and thought I'd give you guys the fishing report! We fished only Monday night as the weather and a bad case of stomach flu cut this trip short. From what I heard from about everyone I talked with, Friday night was the night to be out fishing...
