I can never catch big shad from the bank, I always get shad from 1-3 inches long and the occasional blue gill or perch. The little shad don't hold up good and don't catch me fish. Anyone got any tips on getting aha from the bank? I use a 5ft cast net

I always cast off of bridges always does good for me . and if I cannot use a bridge I walk waist deep into water and start casting. Might have to search a little but they will show. Or look for birds they are usually were the birds are at

If your close to spot try baiting it with range cubes..a few day ..that works for me on mullet and shrimp.The lighted pier or boat ramp works great too
