Full Version: where should I fish in Kentucky?
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I am fishing my way across the country and will be traveling through Kentucky in Mid to late May.

I am looking to catch big bass, walleyes, and/or crappie. Would also like to do some fishing for big cats at night.

I am hoping someone out there can tell me where to go.

Got some suggestions???

I posted this on your other topic, but figured I would post it here as well.

Dale Hallow in TN.
Kentucky Lake in KY.
Lake Barkley in KY
and my favorite, Lake Cumberland in KY.
Cumberland is a well kept crappie secret. 15 to 17 inches is nothing and I caught one over 19. If they're bitting you will probably catch one or two in the 15 to 17 inch range and possibly a bigger one. ( That was before they lowered the lake to repair the dam though. )


P.S. Lake Cumberland has been lowered to repair the dam. I haven't fished it since they did this, but it used to hold some NICE crappie.
