Cumberland Saturday night 7 June

Left from Jamestown Ramp. Water in great shape. Easily caught shad 2 turns into Lilly right after sundown with a bow light, Bait alos easy to catch on teh flats 1/2 way between Wolfe and Jamestown in 70-80 foot of water under a bow light. Short depth cast netting got lots of Threadfin, going deep picked up more larger alwives. Fished from 2nd turn in Lilly to mouth, from there toward Jamestown over the channel, turned back half way to Jamestwon, then from there to the far side, then from there to mouth of wolfe with no hits on life shads at 20-4o feet behind the boards. One Walleye hit a down pole at 40 foot. At 2AM Sunday, started working banks. Walls that run up toward Harmony and Difficulty Creeks had shad up from 2 to 4 am, some occassional Striper pops. We had several short strikes, but no hookups. REdfins, Long A's, Castiac Gizzard shads, and Slivers used. Went to bottom fishing at sunrise, on the banks acroos the lake from Jamestown at 2 different spots. 2 Drums after 4 hours doing that. Banks were loaded with guides from the Wolfe side of the banks, around the front and toward Bugwood side. Saw a couple small Stripers caught by others bottom fishing, but not big from what I saw, and slow action. More may have been caught we didn't see. Did anybody else do good for Stripers? Was it just me, or was it just slow?

Have done extremely well the past couple of weeks, including last weekend. Most fish are biting for me during the first 3 hrs of daylight on 3/8 oz planer board rigs fished about 20 ft back on bluff banks. Have caught a few on down rods set at 20 ft as well.

Fished Sat. nite also in mouth of Indian creek. Caught 2 walleyes 2-4lbs and 1 striper about 9-10lbs between 1 am and 3:30. Bait was up good several times, but not a lot of fish. Talked to several others on the same banks and they all said the same.
