ID:	14865i've been busy and last night was my first time this year, trying the top water striper bite. lunched at the dam on cumberland lake, the lake was calm and the water temp was 71, lots of floating logs, the shad wasn't coming up as good as i thought they would be this late in the year, didn't hear any striper breaking water, the striper wasn't doing anything, but the walleye bite was ok, had to stay right up close to the rock wall and make long cast as close to the wall as possible, using the larger size sliver lure...

ID:	14905the shad spawn has been crazy this year, it's like it happen and didn't happen, the water warms up and cools back down and warm again, I love to night striper fish and always look forward to the spring shad spawn to striper and walleye fish, it's a two hour drive for me to lunch at the Cumberland Dam, and in the past two weeks i've made the trip 4 times and the shad and striper must have been on vacation, it is the worst spring for striper fishing on Cumberland that I can remember, and I've fished it for over 30 years, but the walleye bite has been pretty good, I thought last night would be the perfect night, the rain moved out, good dark night, no wind, I lunched right at midnight, water temp was 74 everything looked good, but the shad never did much, could hear a few shad flicker every now and then, around 3:30 the shad came up the best they did all night, and that wasn't very many, heard a few striper bust the shad, but no luck on boating any, left at 4:30 with nothing but walleye again...
