Fish are very active today. Got two at 40. I saw lots of quick hit jumps but I wasn't jump fishing. They are moving fast but staying in a general area. Lots of scattered fish and packs of 5-15 fish (which I like the best). I didn't go anywhere...

You da man! Slay em. My back is sore, so leave me the old lazy ones. 邏

Lake Cumberland fishing report for oct 19,2018. The water temp has been falling with the cooler nights and is down to almost 70. The stripers have transitioned for the most part from 85 to 95 feet deep to 20 to 50 ft deep. Some nice schools of...

Wife says “Must be younger fish.” yep, headed out here in a few to get a dozen or so of those young 30 inchers 🤪

Wife says “Must be younger fish.” 🤔🤫🤭

Fished late afternoon near Rowena ramp, saw a few small scattered jumps mainly spots. Caught several nice fish after dark closer to the dam. Water temp 72. Fish came from 40-60.

Cons: - Got to find right spot - Got to be there right time. - Determining that takes gas. - Gas cost $ Pros: - The spot represents a pattern, and pattern tends to repeat so long as weather is constant - If in right spot, likely to repeat...

Nice! Congrats. Hoping we figure it out tonight. GL. Back out now.

another great morning, caught 10 in 2hrs, it was a little slower but still ok. they didn't stay up as long and the schools were more busted up but they came up more often.

Bottom line it is fun. But it can be brutally painful. U can spend a lot of time chasing and never get a cast in but when you do it is the most exciting fishing out there imo. Unfortunately a kayak wouldnt work unless u are really really lucky....

Looked at your profile. What and where is the big g lake?

Are hat happens when the Fish have driven a large school of bait up onto the surface of the lake and begin to feed on them. Its an excellent opportunity to catch fish casting plugs. I go with top water some throw doll flys. If you are luck enough...

Jumps happen when predators chase bait to the surface. It's an exiting way to fish because you can see the fish feeding. It's an exhausting, frustrating way to fish because rarely can you get close enough to them in time. And even if you do, you...

Can someone explain to me what these “jumps” are. I would assume its stripers feeding, but what is so important about the significance of this event? Does it make fishing easy? if I head down to Lees Ford would I have a chance at this? on a...

We hung out in this area i think this morning and did not see anything. Lots of singles. Pulling bait now and still keeping our eyes peeled. Hoping we find them soon. GL

Uhhhh, you're not likely to be seeing ME out on the water in Dec. LOL !!! But, Spider Rigging minnows/jigs down close to the bridge has been known to produce Crappie during that time of year. My friend Tim Marple (now a Crappie guide on...

thanks for the report, I really need the reports because im new to striper fishing and Cumberland so I rely on these reports. Definitely don't want to make a 2 hr drive just to get nothing.

Thanks for the help guys and sorry life has got in the way of my reply. With that said... Crappie Pappy may be seeing you in December....

Thanks Roadrunner. I always check the reports on Explore Kentucky. Good site btw. Looks like I’m going to have wind Saturday. I’ll be fishing by myself so I’ll get to try different techniques and get to play around that I normally don’t get to do...

Awesome. Great news! I hope we find them then we can scrap this trolling motor battery problem. Ha! Anyway i think maybe i know where the second post was referring too. Not to far from jameston....up lake? GL

Today was tough for us. The plan was to pull bait but we ran into battery issues and probably charger issues. Been running up the street to try and correct but still dealing with it for the trolling motor. Anyway beautiful day with alittle wind...

This time of year main lake is where we focus but mouths of creeks and in bigger creeks we have also caught them. We have caught them everywhere but main lake area primarily for us.

I have several lfs series lews. One just had the levelwind mess up, but i bought it when they first came out. I have never cleaned or oiled it & thats the first problem whatsoever i've had with one. I have also used this same reel striper fishing...

does these jump happen right on the main lake or you have into one of the creeks?

Pretty rough a couple weeks ago. You could catch fish on shakeyhead/ned rig/carolina rig around main lake points but the size was pretty bad. Seems like most of the guys who did well were catching them on top but we never found much. A lot of junk...

No kidding I was around Boys camp and looked like the water was boiling yesterday evening...they stayed up for an hour. Bass mixed in as well!!!

Dave Stewart report on here for Oct 13th say's fishing has started their transition and the bite is getting better. Captain Rich Bay says crappie bite is getting better. Good luck

That was a two day total. I’m not a tournament fisherman and I’m assuming that you had to buy in for the big fish competition. I took that from the table I seen. I get what you mean about the math.

Hey Stoner 1974 send me a text 8596218791,Shellkat

Prayers sent

I heard they were biting good by headwaters of the salt, and a little luck with the white bass bite as well.

Dont buy a cheap reel, youll get more frustrated than by buying a good reel that will cast easier. Any Daiwa SV reel or a Shimano DC would be the best bet for a beginner. From what ive found and from what most who work on reels will tell you is that...

Tatsu is hands down the best fluoro there is but very pricey. I use Invizx as it seems to be the best mid grade fluoro ive found. I also tried Sunline Sniper and dont have any complaints with it but prefer the invizx

Hard to make a 27.5lb 5 fish limit with a 4.70 big fish. Im sure thats a 2 day total weight.

Dave could U PM me your open dates for Eliminating Water class. there is 2 of us wanting to come

Same here

If not i'll bump it for him. Fish out of the same boat with a slightly larger OB. Fantastic all around fishing boat.

Thoughts and prayers to your wife Bassky and to your friend Roadrunner
