Noel's dock

[kyrick]

Many years ago I fished cumberland river out of Noel's dock. We trolled for white bass. Is this still being done? Is the dock still there?

If your talking about the dock that was at the end of Bee Creek RD, no its been gone for several years. I was down there a few years ago and the river was so low you could use the old ramp to put a boat in. I never fished for white bass but have caught lots of crappie and I know people that catch some good walleye in the spring. Also when they are generating on lake you can go up the Laurel River and catch stripers.

I think you are referring to Noe's Dock, if I'm not mistaken. Beautiful area.
I'm originally from just west of that area in Pulaski County.

If you have a taste for old nostalgic fishing photos of the Cumberland/Rockcastle Rivers area, some of you might find these old photos worth checking out. Type in "fishing" in the search box at this link and see what comes up:

Two summers ago I put in where the Rockcastle river runs in to Lake Cumberland. There is a decent ramp and a rough old boat dock there. I pulled up to the dock and a man came out, looking pretty rough. He didnt have any minnows or much advice so I didnt stay around long.

Here's one from the collection I really like. Anyone recognize this place?
