Get ready for the ultimate striped bass adventure on the legendary waters of upper Lake Cumberland! Striper Slayers takes you straight to the action, fishing the cold-water discharge of the Laurel Lake Dam — a hotspot where monster stripers lurk in the oxygen-rich outflow. These powerful fish thrive in the chilly currents, and we know exactly where to find them.
You will be fishing from a 20' Customized Tracker Grizzly, that comes with all the necessary equipment for your fishing adventure!
Whether you're an experienced angler chasing your next trophy or a first-timer looking for a thrill, our expert-guided trips are tailored for maximum excitement. Watch the rods bend and the reels scream as we troll or live-bait for giants that can push 40+ pounds!
The scenery is just as epic — misty mornings, rocky cliffs, and the echo of a Striper smashing bait on the surface. This is more than just fishing… it’s a pulse-pounding, memory-making experience.
Book your trip with Fred Hoskins at Striper Slayers.
Come Catch the Giants with Us!

5 Hour Trip – Weekday Evening
Fred did an amazing job of finding the fish, rather than just going to a few ‘honey holes’ like many guides do. We caught 28 strippers, 1 hybrid, and 1 walleye. The strippers were huge (one was more than 20 pounds) and all the strippers put up a great fight. Fred is very personable and a delight to be around. We have been on 20+ fishing trips and this was among the best we’ve done. Highly recommend it.
