Cedar Knob is located on Jonathan Creek Bay, which is on of the best areas on the Lake for fishing. There are two miles of uninhabited shoreline in each direction from our dock. Also there are stake beds and submerged brush piles nearby. Our dock has 16 covered slips, a locker for each cottage, rental boats and motors, bait, license, etc. and an adjoining launching pad. All of our facilities are for the private use of our cottage guests.

Kentucky Lake Fishing

Trophy bass fishing. Black bass stay active along the shoreline throughout the spring, and move to the deeper ledges by summer. During late summer, fishing shallow for feeding bass in the backs of embayments offers some great topwater action. Follow that up with some fall fishing along the rocky shoreline and woody structure.

If you prefer some relaxing fishing for panfish, such as bluegill, Kentucky Lake offers that also. However, be ready to have your line stretched. Kentucky Lake offers some nice size bluegill, but is also home to the 2-pound redear. The redear belong in the sunfish family, but feed along the bottom for snails and small clams, hence the name shell crackers. If you chose, you can hire one of the many guides to direct you to a hot spot or at least tell you what is working for them.

The lakes regularly host some of the country’s most outstanding fishing tournaments. Tours that visit our lakes for the tremendous bass population include the locally based and nationally recognized FLW series, Stren Series, and the Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League. Another regular visitor is the prestigious Bassmaster Elite Series. Not to be out done by the bass leagues are the crappie tournaments. Our lakes are known for some of the best crappie fishing in the U.S. We are visited yearly by Crappie USA and Crappie Masters. Both are outstanding tournament series. These are just a few that visit the area yearly.

Besides all the fishing, the large embayments of Kentucky Lake can offer hours of enjoyment for the recreational boaters. Whether it is just setting and soaking up the sun, or the thrill of skiing or tubing, there is something to do for all the outdoorsmen, or women, in your family.
