I've been on the Cumberland River a few times, but have yet to catch a striper there. I'm probably not your best source of info for that river. I do know from fishing for Stripers elsewhere that they really like current. The more current, the better. Prime months, I would guess, would be April-May (spawn time) and July-August (hot water time). Most of the stripers in the river come out of Cordell Hull Reservior so those times are when I would expect stripers to be migrating into the river. Probably others on the board who could supply a whole lot more useful info than me.
