Welcome to KY. Cumberland is for sure the best place to go for stripers. As far as crappie fishing goes this is the place to be. Crappiepappy is one of the more knowledgable posters on this board especially regarding fishing in KY. There many others who are more than happy to share their expertise as well. If you get into crappie fishing this board will help you become a better crappie fisherman. I've crappie fished for years and thought I was pretty good at it. This board made me better. Once again, welcome to the state of KY.
