Hey everyone. I am renting a houseboat for a week (starting May 23) on lake cumberland, ky. I was just wondering if anyone had any fishing information for this lake and any species really, but specifically walleye and hybrids for this time if year. I have fished for both in northern illinois, but mostly in shallow water. Any information regarding locations, bait/lures/colors/presentations, best time of day, and depth would be greatly appreciated. The houseboat we are renting is from State Dock if that helps anyone. Thanks Again! --Rick

Are you talking about the State Dock @ Jamestown. Cumberland is my favorite lake in USA but I haven't fished it in several years. My PB Smallmouth came there, 6lb 8 oz. I always caught my walleye off main lake points on dd22 crankbaits in Tenn Shad. Cumberland is full of Stripers. I never saw any hybrids there. They may have been stocked since I fished there. There are lots of largemouths and spotted bass there also. There are hundreds(maybe thousands) of points and pockets. I suggest you fish the points and fish entire pockets. Most of the pockets have log jams in the back of them. There are also big bluegill on the points. If you are coming out of Jamestown when you get out to main lake there will be a big island to your extreme right. If you look across the lake slightly to the right you should see charter boats fishing for stripers. They use live bait under a balloon float. I have caught many stripers up to 40lbs there. A white swim jig is a good bait for Stripers. Hope this helps some.
