Best fishin spot in the great state of Kentucky?

Thanks for the welcome. I would love to catch some Largemouth or Striped Bass! Know any places to recommend?

If by "striped bass" you are referring to Stripers or Hybrid Stripers ... my recommendation would be Lake Cumberland for Stripers, and Barren River Reservoir for Hybrid Stripers.

Largemouth Bass are abundant in most every one of our major lakes, and even some of our smaller lakes can produce some trophy sized fish. Our state record Largemouth came from Wood Creek Lake (672 acres) ... 13lbs 10oz (but that was back in 1984). We also have Cedar Creek Lake (784 acres) which is managed for trophy Largemouth Bass (size limit of 20" & creel limit of 1 fish/day) that might be of interest ... but, you'll have plenty of company (competition) if the bite is on.

And as is the case in most states waters ... "when" you fish is as important as "how" you fish, "where" on the waters you fish, & "what" you fish with !!

Cave Run Lake, Lake Cumberland, & the KY portion of Dale Hollow Lake are good Smallmouth Bass waters, as well.
