Which is the COOLEST? by
Kirk Weber (6/25/2009)
[Kentucky Lake] I unhooked and released the fish and cast again. BAM! Another, BAM! Another, BAM! Another. After 7 or 8 fish in quick succession I thought to myself, Man this is COOL!
Crappie Fishing Kentucky Lake by
Kirk Weber (4/05/2009)
[Kentucky Lake] The Crappie are well into their spawn. Now is a great time for anglers new to the lake to come fish for Bass. Some amazing numbers of Bluegill are in deep water on stumps and in Crappie brush 10� to 18� deep.
Crappie Time by
Kirk Weber (10/05/2007)
[Kentucky Lake] In the past week clients in my boat have checked in a 10oz Bluegill, a 13 ½ Lb Flathead Catfish, a 1 Lb 12 oz Crappie, and a 4 Lb 11 oz Smallmouth. If you’re not out there catching ‘em, you’re missing out!
Trophy Stripers On Lake Cumberland by
Jim Durham (5/24/2007)
[Lake Cumberland] In some years, the bite during the spawn of the Stripers can be really slow. I do not know what then “phenomenon” is this year, but we have been catching absolutely “huge” trophy Stripers in the spawn of 2007. Perhaps it is the fact that with the work on the dam and the water level still near Winter pool all the way into May, the “bite” is hotter this year during the spawn than normal.
Crappie Spawn Has Begun by
Kirk Weber (3/25/2007)
[Kentucky Lake] I’ve fished every day for the past two weeks and overall the catching has been good. We’ve had many 100+ fish days catching Crappie, Yellow Bass, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Striped Bass, Bluegill, and Red Ear.
Warming Trend by
Kirk Weber (3/11/2007)
[Kentucky Lake] The biggest change I’ve seen is that each day more fish are coming shallow. This should hold up so long as our warm trend continues.
February Fishing North Kentucky Lake by
Kirk Weber (2/23/2007)
[Kentucky Lake] Some fish are rising for the warmer water near surface and if our warm trend continues, I look for the catching to get better. For now I’d fish either deep (20+ ft) or shallow (5 ft or less). For Bass that means suspending jerk baits shallow and a jig, deep.
Cold Water Crappie by
Kirk Weber (1/31/2007)
[Kentucky Lake] The air was a bit nippy, but I found the fish fairly agreeable. The most good-sized fish I graphed were in 26ft of water.
The Lake Cumberland Striper Fishing Report by
Jim Durham (1/30/2007)
[Lake Cumberland] From my 40 plus years coming to the lake, it has been my experience that this winter level (690) remains constant (many years) for 90 or so days between late November through mid February. So, we are already accustomed to this lower water level for about a ¼ of the year as it is!
Lake Cumberland Striper Fishing by
Jim Durham (12/17/2006)
[Lake Cumberland] Things have began to slow down around the marinas, with most (non-fishing boats) winterized. This time of year gets quite. The pleasure boaters are done for the year and it’s just the Bass fishermen and us “Monster” Striper hunters that are left.
