Heading for Lake Cumberland

[RICHYD4U]

I'll be going the week after that. I would also love any info that anyone is willing to share. Are the stripers still hanging out on the main lake, or have they started heading up the creeks yet?

Good luck down there and report back on how you guys do!

I just got off the phone with a friend who has been in Indian Creek since Saturday.

Sunday morning they caught 5 Striper keepers (2 @ 30")in the mouth of Whippoorwill on Super Spooks. Since then it has been slow. One or two fish each day, no keepers.

If you want live bait, there is almost an unbelieveable amount of shad back in the cut to the left of 76 Falls and its been there all summer. It's truely an amazing sight, schools of thread fin 200 ft across. I've been catching fish back there all year long. Got a 22" spot right under 76 Falls in July. The water in the pool under the falls was 10 degrees cooler than the main lake and was loaded with fish. I had to drag a Jon boat to get to them but once I got there, I slayed em!

I hope this helps

I was as shocked as you are. She weighed just over 5lbs and was the biggest spot I'd ever seen in person. I brought her back to Grider Hill to show some friends and get a photo before releasing her. The picture is terrible because we were in direct sunlight at a 1:00 in the afternoon.

I figured five or better, that is a serious Spot my man. I have raised a few that size at the big C but it's hard to get one to committ. I had one come up with one I had hooked one time on one of my places that holds alot of Kentuckies and I honestly think it would have made 6 pound maybe a fuzz more. Put he rod between my legs with the smaller one still hooked and picked up a spinning outfit and flipped it a Fluke he rushed it and then stopped, you know how they will do, then said not today fella and just sank through the water column out of sight. I can still see that beast in my minds eye.

Good job on the release, what a Spot. My biggest ever was just over four pound but it came from Barren on a lime buzzbait. Biggest ever from Cumberland might have been three pound or so.
