Monticello, Mill Springs, Albany, and the south end of Lake Cumberland.
North side of Monticello
Stop on the way to the ramp.
We do not publish a real street number. The demo shop sits on the way from town toward Mill Springs. Call and we will talk you in. The phone below is fictional.
Ramps we send people to
Real public launches on the south end of the lake. Roads and fees change. This is not turn-by-turn navigation.
Mill Springs
Wayne County
The short run north of the shop. Most of our daylight boats leave from here when the report says the points.
Old Sawmill & Carter Point
Otter Creek, Wayne County
The crappie brush we wrote up this week sits on this side of the lake. Ask which ramp matches the wind.
Fryman's Landing
Indian Creek, Clinton County
Albany-side launch. Folks coming up from town stop here for minnows, then drop in on Indian Creek.
Grider Hill
Clinton County
Marina and ramp on the Albany side. We do not run the marina. We just send you with bait and the report.
Questions at the counter
Do you sell Kentucky fishing licenses?
No. We will stand at the counter and walk you through the state site if your phone is fighting you, but the license comes from Kentucky Fish and Wildlife, not from us. This demo does not take payment.
How do I know what is actually in the tank?
The board on the counter matches the board on the home page: In, Low, or Out. Shad and wax worms move fast on a Saturday. Call before you drive if you need a specific bait.
How early are you really open?
5:00 a.m., six days, and Sunday until 1:00. If the porch light is on, the coffee is on and the minnows have already been checked.
Can you spool braid and fix a broken tip?
Yes. Mono is $8 and braid is $12, plus the line. A tip-top is $12. All demo prices. Bring the whole rod so we can see what broke.
What do you put the minnows in?
Your own foam minnow bucket, or a knotted plastic bag of water. Crickets go in a wire-mesh cage or a small closed bag. Worms are a dozen to a lidded cup. We do not hand you an open box.
