Stripers will follow the shad. People always want to ask where the stripers are. The real question is where are the schools of shad. The stripers will stay shallow when the water is in the sixties and maybe low seventies. Once it starts warming up the shad will head deeper and so will the stripers. I have never fished in the summer months (too busy with the family). Most of my fishing is done in the fall, winter/spring. I have heard that the technique in the summer is to put live bait at the 30' to 40' range at night by the dam and the bridge. You can also troll deep for them in the summer down by the dam. They like the dam because the shad are there. The shad like the flow and cooler water ahead of the dam.

If the stripers are busting the surface at night then they will hit a topwater bait. They will hit topwater anytime day or night as long as they are feeding on the surface.
