lake cumberland stripers

[NedFlanders]

Winch, stop at the tackle store we went to on the way and get a smithwick deep rogue jr in banana bread...........all 12 fish my partner caught were on that bait...............fished the huge point straight across from ramp and wall on the other side of it

Lesson learned while striper fishing this week:

Buy a net according to the biggest striper you HOPE to catch, not what you usually catch.

Mon and Tues night...got mostly walleye w/ a couple of stripers. All after 2 AM on Long A bombers at the mouth of creeks.

I am heading to Cumberland this weekend and am going to try striper fishing for only the second time.

I am putting in near the state dock.

I have bought some redfins and have bomber long A's.

Any advice on how to catch alewives? Where to fish? I am willing to fish all night if need be.

Ned, What time did the shad come up? Also how late did you fish. Ive got a couple of them baits, can't wait to get down there. Did you get a truck or are you borrowing one?
