I use a slip float. It is attached to the line like a planer board, spring loaded rubber grips on the bottom so you can easily adjust the depth you want to fish. They are hard to find too. I bought...

You can buy shiners at Lake Country Outdoors. It is a BP gas station also located between Russell Springs and Jamestown. If you get off the Cumberland Parkway and go south towards Jamestown it will...
Does antbody know if Bandits is selling shad yet? I might go down this weekend and give it a try.
Great report! I am going to try and make it down next week end to chase the stripers and will let you know how I do.
Thanks for the fishing report. Sorry to hear about your vehicle, were you parked in the parking lot or right beside the ramp on the Island?
There is a place in Louisville called J and J boat trailer on Dixie hwy. I bought a new master cylinder for my boat trailer there a couple years ago. They carry alot of parts there.
I bought a fixed mount yesterday. I didn`t think about being seperated from the boat (fire, sunk, etc.), that is a very good point. Maybe I can talk my wife into buying me a handheld for Christmas...
Thanks for the input folks. Sounds like good fishing is just around the corner.
Anybody know the current water temperature at Cumberland? Looking for info around Wolf and Caney creeks.
Being difficult to get a cell phone signal in some areas of Cumberland, just curious if a VHF radio would be a good investment. I fish alot in the winter months and sometimes do not see many boats on...
I have a 55 pound Power Drive and really like it. I put the Co Pilot on it also. These are great trolling motors. The only thing you must be careful with is ALWAYS unplug it when you charge your...
If you live near the Louisville area you can get any trailer part needed at J and J Boat Trailer on Dixie Hwy. Don`t know the phone number but they are in the book. That guy has it all.
I have a lot at Cumberland for sale, 5 minutes from Jamestown Marina. City water and a community walk path to the lake. This is not lake view but very close, you can walk there in 5 minutes. Lot is...
The lower end had some drift floating around. To estimate it per your request from your other post I would say 20 pieces per 3 mile stretch. Some of it was large. Chainsaws not required. Good luck...
I have not fished the river for Stripers but did fish Lake Cumberland 6-4-06 on the lower end. Water temp on the main lake was 76. We started at 6 am trolling shad on the main lake and caught 4...
Thanks for the info. Going to fish around Indian and Beaver, will report back.
Anybody been to Cumberland this week? I am going down Sunday to Striper fish and was wondering what the water temp was. I have read other posts and seen the debris is pretty bad and curious if the...
I am going down this weekend to chase the Stripers, hope they are hungry. Do you know the surface temp on the lower end around Beaver or Indian creek? Good luck to you this weekend!
I fished Friday night May 5 in Guffey creek. The shad were on the banks as soon as it got dark and stayed until about 3 am. Heard about 10 or 12 blow ups. If you go there try it all the way in the...
Fished all night Friday, Water temp in lower end was 67 -68 degrees. The shad were on the banks doing their thing but only heard about 10-12 blow ups all night. We did catch 1 Striper about 10 am...
Thanks for the info. Leaving soon, will report back.
Thanks for the report. I am going down tonight to try my luck, taking my brother and 13 year old nephew who has never caught a Striper before. We are going to stay all night on the boat. Is there...
I have never fished for Hybrid stripers on Barren and was wondering if I should use the same methods I use for Stripers on Cumberland? Barren is closer to me and with the price of gas this summer I...
Does anybody know the results of the Striperfest Tourney? Curious to know who won and the winning weight.
Lake Country Outdoors. That BP station has the Bass pro in it. Phone- 270-866-7575
Bandits is still open. IT is being sold and don`t know if the new owner will sell shad, I didn`t ask.
Where can you buy shad at around Cumberland now? Bandits is being sold, I normally bought all my bait there. Now I need to find another bait shop. I can catch it myself but sometimes I would rather...
I normally fish alot in January, but every chance I got to go there was too much wind. I never had any luck in those conditions and it is too difficult to fish in anyway.
While charging your batteries, make SURE you disconnect your trolling motor. I have a Minn Kota Power Drive, I burned up the circuit board in it while charging the batteries. I was told that what...
Thanks for all the input. I will be at Cumberland, in the lake. Never fished in the Cumberland river before.
I will be targetting the big Stripers this spring and was wondering, what is your favorite lure for the big Stripers?
I fish by myself alot of the time. Last Summer I was pulling out of the water at the Dam at Cumberland, as I was getting out of my boat after it was on the trailer and I fell down. Now, I am soaking...
People that run thru a school of jumping Stripers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Try the Shiloh Inn in Russell Springs. It is an older motel but the owner seems to take good care of things. Alot of fishermen stay there.
I was telling my wife the same thing just the other day. The birds are a sure sign!
Just wondering if the shad are easy to catch now? I have bought a new green fluorescent light and want to try it out. Are the shad in the back of the creeks, middle, etc. I may go down and try my...
Tried to send e mail but undeliverable. I am interested in the light, you can e mail me at; jynx21@msn.com
Thanks, Patrick
Sent an e mail message.
Anybody using these lights? Thinking about getting one but would like to hear some opinions first. Are they productive?
I fished Caney Saturday from noon until dark. Pulled umbrella rigs at various depths with no luck. I saw a few stripers jump but only 2 or 3 at a time, no big schools. Temp was 56 degrees. Maybe in...
Is the turnover complete yet? Has it started? I am assuming it is getting close or already happened. Just curious how the fishing will be this holiday weekend.
Thanks for the info folks. I have some new umbrella rigs I want to drag around under the downrigger. I think I will try it Sunday, the forecast is calling for cloudy skies. I seem to have better luck...
Does anybody know the water temp at Cumberland, the lower end close to the dam? I may try to chase the Stripers this weekend if conditions are favorable.
