I was mostly wondering about Lakes, But Rivers and Large creeks are okay also. As long as I can get my boat in and out easily!!:thumb:

 

Do you have a canoe? :lol: J/K. There are places you can get a boat in.

I have fished Lake Cumberland a few times but yet to catch any Monster bass. Striper is king there.

We go 3 or 4 times a year. Down line, find them on the graph. Big fun.

I think Elkhorn Creek is awesome for some smallies. :thumb:

 

I would have to agree, the slot has really helped.

Cumberland has actually surpassed the Hollow as a smallmouth fishery in the last few years..

I did not know this. I live within an hour's drive of Cumberland. I will be going there soon!:thumb:

Off topic here and I'm from the NKY and don't make it down that way that often, but are the repairs to Cumberland Dam finished yet? I was just wondering if the water level went back up to its norm before the repairs.

I dont think it is back to normal but should be getting close!:thumb:

Nope.

I have heard tales of how great of a smallmouth fishery Laurel has become but no first hand experience.

I have fished Laurel many, many times. It is my favorite lake to fish. I have seen smallmouth as big as 7 Lbs. I have caught many over 4 Lbs in my career.:thumb:
