At the mouths of creeks coming into the river you can catch smallies and maybe a large mouth. Not often you’ll catch them in the river.

We put in at Burkesville. Fished from 7:30 to 1:30pm. We caught 9 fish between us. Clear skies made fishing slow in my opinion. Always do better with clouds. Caught everything on crank baits. 17 inch...

Been a while since I posted. We fished Saturday about 6 hours from 6:30-12:00. We caught some nice rainbows. Maybe 25 between the 2 of us. A few got off at the boat. I missed out on a 22 inch plus...

You may have already gone down, and if so, how did it go? If not, I’d put in at Burkesville. It takes all day for the current to affect water levels 35 miles south of the dam. Less worrisome. I’ve...

Pennyrile state park is a great place to float a kayak and take a 12 yr old fishing. Lots of bass in a small lake there. 120 acres or so. I’ve had more luck at the shallow end. Tons of 10-12 inch...

I’ve fished this river many many times. Last few years I haven’t done very well. Finally hit the river with a good water flow and we killed it. Maybe 30 fish between us. Didn’t keep any. 4 fish were...

I’m 52 and a long time hunter and fisherman. I have a basstracker and a number of kayaks.
The last year I’ve lost my mojo about both. I read and think about doing both but can’t get up energy to...

Last 5 years I’ve taken my bass boat to Panama City. I have a 17 foot bass tracker with a 70 hp engine. I fish the bay all the way out near the jetties. Fishing is fantastic. The bay is bigger than...

Fishin.com is better when we post about our fishing trips, tell everyone about the fun, unusual or terrible things that happened to us. What’s not all that interesting is seeing posts asking about...

Went twice this week, Monday out of Burkesville and yesterday we put in at the dam. Slow fishing above burkesville. We did catch 2 rainbows north of 16 inch but only caught 6 between us. We used...

Can anyone post on the current condition of the river. I'd love to fish tomorrow or Monday but assumed Harvey muddied the river and made it unfishable.

Tom Wallace lake isn't far from you. Small lake they stock trout in the spring. Saw a guy catch an 8 pound bass from that lake. Guess eating the trout made him that big. Best fishing for you I think...

I miss Mr.Strange and his fishing reports of the river. I miss his barber chair, and I miss talking to him about the river. I don't care for the current reports of fishing from a guide who is...

For the past 4 years, I have taken my bass tracker to Panama City and have fished St Andrews bay with it. We have the best time catching all kinds of fish from red fish, speckled trout, ladyfish,...

We fished 10/14. We caught all rainbows about midway between burkesville and the dam. We caught the biggest fish in the wood in calmer water. Largest fish was 17 inch. We caught about 15 between the...

I would kayak Cumberland River but I've kayaked a lot. That can be a dangerous River. Very cold and can be very swift. Also to stay in one spot, an anchor works pretty good. The pedal kind are...

I don't think I would buy a pedal kayak as my first kayak. First you may not stick with it and you will have spent quite a bit you will lose when you resale. Two, if you plan on using it in small...

We were down last Sunday. Dam was not letting any water out and conditions were very tough under a clear blue sky. We only caught a few 9-11 inch brook and rainbow trout. No chasers. Water ok. Seen...

Yesterday was a fantastic day to fish the Cumberland. We put in at Helm's landing and fished down to Winfreys landing. From 8-1pm under good cloud cover we caught about 30 trout. Of that, a few small...

I would wait another week when he water gets down. 20000 is a lot of water. Not sure where you could wade in that kind of water.

We put in at the dam and floated down below helms landing another mile. We caught 25 trout. Most 8-10 inches. We caught a few 12-15 inch fish and I had a slightly bigger brown break me off under the...

We ate at Cumberland park resort. Same old crummy food at all the resorts. Not impressed with buffets. $40.00 for three of us. Seems like they could do better.

Fished the river some Sat evening at burksville and Sunday from the dam. We didn't catch many and most folks I spoke too were not catching many either day. Sunny day didn't help. We threw crank...

My son and I fished Saturday evening and caught a few 14-16 inch rainbows late. Sunday morning water was green with a bit of murkiness but overall pretty good. Cloudy and rain should have Made it a...

The first two pages of our website is folks asking for water conditions. Not much from people actually fishing. I propose nobody asks for help for the next week and only people who have actually...

I have no idea of your exact plans, but I will say this. Be careful. The river is swift in many places, many logs to flip you, and water cold enough to kill you real quick. Don't go without a second...

We fished from a couple miles north of Crocus creek down to Burksville. Wed was fairly sunny and trout were hard to come by until the sun began setting. Thursday rained off and on all day and was...

I always catch less than I think I should have, but this is what I might do. Slow down your retrieve. We kayak fish small rivers often, which by the way is awesome fun and you almost never get...

I might put in at Burkesville and go to Strange bait and Tackle. He will give you good advice.

They can be found at the mouth of creeks. I saw some guys throwing huge plastic lures 10 inch +, at the timber for stripers. Not sure how effective that would be.

We fished there a couple months ago. My advice is to go to the north end of Ft Myers, rent a kayak, and fish live shrimp on a jighead. Flip along the mangroves in the shallow waters. Only kayakers...

I have an aluminum 1988 basstracker. I'm getting ready to mount the transducer. Directions say to have the transducer about 1/4 in or so below the bottom of the transom. I'd rather have it even with...

It is becoming silly the amount of electronics on a bass boat in a tournament. Giant screens littering the boat. When is it not "fair" to the fish? If I could compare this to hunting, most states...

Fished Burkesville north about 4 miles Saturday. water level pretty close to perfect. Water color was a bit cloudy, but not bad. We got a late start Saturday, but did manage to catch about 10 trout...

We fished a couple hours late yesterday afternoon and caught a few fish near the main channels. Going north from Settlers Point, the water cleared. Nicer day fishing than I thought it would be with...

I've kayak fished for 10 years. I'd go shorter, not longer. Difficult to clear tangles with a longer rod in a kayak. 6-6.5 foot rod is plenty. If your kayak has a carrying handle on the front,...

I'm afraid I might not have handled that so well. I'd of regretted it later, but I might have asked that gentleman to dock the boat and gone over to discuss his actions.

I own 5 kayaks. Go with sit on type for sure!! Ascend at bass pro is less than 600 and is a nice boat. 10-12 foot is good length. Canoe Ky has great selection, but have a pricey selection. The one...

It has been 6-7 years since I fished Cumberland River, and mostly we put in near Burksville.
I want to Kayak fish for 6-10 miles from the dam. How is the river normally. My nephew is
nervous...

I've posted a referral before, not sure if anyone ever went, but it is worth a look. We go to Clear Creek State Park, Pa most years, and have done so for 25 years or more. It is located 480 miles or...

Go to Lowes, I'm sure you can find adjustable pole for less. Maybe in painting or lawn and garden. Or just find straight stick that is sturdy.

Guide recommendation - Osprey Charters, Capt Greg. Been out with him several times. 2nd choice, and cheaper, rent a boat for 275 or less, troll for Spanish around the jetties and the pass. We...

We put in at Beckley Park and took out at Fisherville. Long float, but really nice right now. Caught 50 fish between the three of us. Mostly bluegill, Rock bass but as the float went on, we caught...

We fished Disneyworld twice with guides on the property. It was fun. Caught some nice bass. Expensive treat, but everything there is pricy.

I've been going to Panama for years fishing. Most boats are as good as another. Red snapper fishing is pretty much the same everywhere. They go to a wreck or reef , fish bottom with squid, fish,...

For those Yak fisherman out there, I want to share my favorite place in the world to camp and fish. Clear Creek State Park, Pa. 500 miles from Shepherdsville, but its worth the drive. The Clarion...

Yes they do. just like to have multiple windows open at one time...

Awesome!! Go early, throw heddon topwater torpedo at the bank. Then go to rebel craw or other crank bait. Love that river!!!
