Night fishing on Cumberland

[NedFlanders]

Went last thur and had 9 keeper Walleye......Heard maybe 2 or 3 blowups all night . Walleye were smaller than usual 22" down to barely keeper...........I guess the topwater Striper bite is just not going to happen....seems to me in years past by the time the water was mid 70's it was over..........hopefully im wrong........

...........I guess the topwater Striper bite is just not going to happen....

I'm hearing a few scattered reports of limited topwater striper activity over the last week or too. Most have been short stripers. I agree with the above posters, its pretty much not going to happen this year. It may still be possible to go out and hit a few here and there on top at night, but I would be surprised if it were real consistent. Next year.....

I thought they would be easier to target with the water down and there being less gray shale for them to use. Turns out they didn't mind using the soft banks which are pretty much everywhere, so they are spread out even more... I think we'll have to wait for the water to come back up hefore we can get em back on the pattern. I didn't even bust my buns on it much this year, with all the poor reports.
