Shad Situation at Cumberland

[RC5]

I guess over those sandy and gravl bottoms dosnt constitute as open water??? They are a saltwater fish so they spawn a little different in Cumberland than in saltwater where all these studies are done talking about how they run up in the creeks and stuff.

RC5, the alewifes that I've seen spawing on Cumberland have been right on the bluff walls as noted above. May be some spawn in other areas too?
