Hi fellow fishermen. I need some major help in fishing
Lake Cumberland in late Oct. (Oct. 27 - Nov. 1 to be exact).
My father(75 yrs. old) and I (44) will be taking a trip to Lake Cumberland around the State Resort Park and Grider Hill Dock area
of the lake. We will use a fishing guide (Lance Sasser from Sassers
Guide Service) on Oct. 30th to go for the stripers, but we are also
taking his boat to try for some smallies, walleyes and anything else we can catch. We are pretty much catch and release on the smallies
but would like to put a few fish in the freezer for winter if you know what I mean. We have never fished Cumberland on our own and could sure use some advice on where to fish that time of year, water depth, lures / bait...etc. Again we are totally out of our realm here and will probably not be able to net any on our own if it isn't for the help of anyone here. Not looking for sympathy here, but dad was recently doctored for his heart and it got me thinking....I wonder how may fishing trips we have left together. He started me fishing when I was 5 yrs. old (Lake Erie) and we have fished Erie ever since and have fished in Florida for jumbo bluegills and bass(Okeechobee)together as well as Canada for pike this year. I sure would like to make this trip to Cumberland an occasion to remember as well. Nothing like a fishing trip shared between a father and son. Please help if you can. If I get info. and can hook up with some fish during the trip I will sure be glad to pass along the info. to others here at this board to help someone else out.
If anyone would prefer to e-mail me my address is:

God Bless,
