Dropping lights to fish..........

Guys just wondering if anyone is dropping lights to catch fish. Was thinking about going to Cumberland and using lights to catch stripes and walleye. At least till they come up good enough to start casting for them. Am I still a little early and need to wait or is the time just about right. What's your opinions.

I fished out of Fall Creek this past Mon night and caught 2 short stripes, hooked into 5 more that I lost and had probably 5 blow ups. Needless to say I have been busy sharpening hooks since I got back. Anyway, all were on topwater using a gold redfin. Bite was best from 12-2. Good luck
