I fished the lake on Friday night from 11pm to 11 am the next morning. We didn't start seeing/hearing shad until around 2:00am(eastern). We only heard a very few stripers popping the shad, and had no bites. We threw slivers, redfins, long A, zara spooks, etc.
We caught some shad at night and tried trolling a little in the morning, and got nothing. Later in the morning we fanned out some lines on the clay banks, and got nothing but a ten lb. channel.
We saw a lot of other people fishing, but no one seemed to be doing any good.
We went and fished for trout behind the dam for a few hours on Saturday and caught some decent trout.
We went back to the lake on Saturday night and fished from 8:00pm to 2:00 am (eastern), and never heard any shad come up. We might not of stayed out long enough for the shad to come up, but we were dead tired.
We once again caught no striper or walleye, but only about an 8 lb channel cat. We hardly saw anyone on the water on Saturday night.
Did anyone do any good, and if so, what were you using?
