Lake Cumberland vacation question

[mhall]

Any of the larger Marina's have good accomodations. Jamestown is very nice and slightly higher priced than some. Lees Ford or Conley Bottom on the east of the lake will set you up nice. Grider Hill is also a good place to stay. Alligator can set you up well with everything you want.

All these are good choices if I were you I would stay at Jamestown as it will put you a little west of mid lake and you can go up lake, really east or down lake really west. This has you kinda centrally located. They have a nice hotel or cabin type venue's available. Their restaurant at the Marina is actually quite good and the breakfast buffet is the bomb.All these mentioned offer boat slips and the room rental in the hotel at Jamestown will get you a slip I believe.

Either time frame you mentioned would be good fishing for a variety of fish species so flip a coin there and you'll be fine. Lakecumberland.com is a great resource for info and can steer you to links of what I have mentioned above, even web cams showing you the lake view of their geographic locations on the lake.

Hope this helped

I agree with Mark on Jamestown. That, or State Dock. You can easily go up or down as needed and that area to Beaver\Otter is usually a good choice that time of year. There is a creek right behind them so you can always fish there if the fish are still concentrated in the creeks. As for the week, impossible to say. You are just going to have to pick one and hope for the best fish and weather wise. If I HAD to pick, I would take May. You are getting into the night time casting bite time of the year. It can be killer or it can be dead. And that can be one night to the next. You also need to consider they plan to raise the lake back up next year and that will be a prime time for the raise. What that means is all the stuff from the banks (think floater logs) could cause navigation to be a little hazardous, and even more so at night. Again, way too early to say so I wouldn't adjust your plans for it. Just keep an eye on this board for how the conditions are up until you head that way.

Jamestown for the reasons Mark said and May 3rd trip better to target top water Stripers and Walleye at night.
