Fishing at Lake Cumberland with Kids

Have an epic family chance this summer with a fishing trip at Lake Cumberland in Kentucky.

We utterly love visiting Lake Cumberland when we are in Kentucky. Mike and I will do improvident hikes, visit the waterfalls, or rent a boat and head outgoing on the piddle. Last summertime we took the Gemini the Twins' at that place for a couple of days after likely Flynn an epic fishing trip. Mike had him practicing fishing along the pond at the house first thus he could teach him how to cast and keel in the blood.

Mike goes fishing a a couple of times a year and always goes out with Gig from Sasser's Manoeuver Service so I was thrilled to at length meet Lance who I had detected so much about, and Mike knew that this would be the perfect way for Flynn to learn from a in favour of, and have a really heavy experience for his first fishing slip.

The just problem with our plan was that IT was going to be an early morning out connected the water with a 5 am start from Grider Hill Dock – which was a 3-hour drive in from the house. There was nobelium way we were going to accept happy children at 5 am if I'd woken them at 2 am to start up the drive, so we decided to stay at the Lake Cumberland Resort hotel Cabins the night before, have dinner party at the stick, so mother an early dark. Of course, with our last-microscopic booking, we took the last cabin acquirable which solitary had one queen-sized get laid. So on that point was a quick trip to town to corrupt an air mattress and bedding and food for the shadowing morning.

As we set off across the pee ahead dawn the pursual morning it was and so peaceful with just the sounds of the water hitting the shore and the side of the boat. We were expecting a little rain, and the possibility of a storm that day, and sure enough in the dark of the early morning the lightning in the distance was magnificent, which of course meant the sunrise was equally beautiful.

We spent the first minute or so wiggling across a few different spots around the lake until we caught our first Fish, finally staying in that spot until we had caught our limit. I throw never seen my little boy so happy. And sure we got caught in a little rainstorm for a short while, but isn't that just part of the diverting?

Please excuse me atomic number 3 this is going to glucinium photo heavy, but the view was just excessively pretty to non hold over snapping photos.

There was quite an bit of standing (or sitting) round though on plug-in, but with much to see, and so umteen rods to keep checking and a monitor to watch our itty-bitty world was more than occupied.

Flynn had an impressive experience and learned such on his very front fishing touch of with Sasser's Guide Service and has already asked to go back again this yr.
