the shad spawn has been crazy this year, it's like it happen and didn't happen, the water warms up and cools back down and warm again, I love to night striper fish and always look forward to the spring shad spawn to striper and walleye fish, it's a two hour drive for me to lunch at the Cumberland Dam, and in the past two weeks i've made the trip 4 times and the shad and striper must have been on vacation, it is the worst spring for striper fishing on Cumberland that I can remember, and I've fished it for over 30 years, but the walleye bite has been pretty good, I thought last night would be the perfect night, the rain moved out, good dark night, no wind, I lunched right at midnight, water temp was 74 everything looked good, but the shad never did much, could hear a few shad flicker every now and then, around 3:30 the shad came up the best they did all night, and that wasn't very many, heard a few striper bust the shad, but no luck on boating any, left at 4:30 with nothing but walleye again...
