i need to get some shad

yeah, where did you see the shad?

patience. they can only resist the shopping cart for so long

I sure am glad things are kind of back to normal with the creek. Last year was a joke! All those gill nets or somethign in the water had them all screwed up!

I think this Sunday its going to be on. STRONG cold front on Monday, so the pressure and barometer should be changing which means "good fishin"

Gizzard shad puts up a GOOD fight too! I might have to stop by with a cast net for a future trip to texoma and stock up for the jugs!

ok can someone give me directions????

exit 635 at skillman/audelia....go south on audelia...make a right on lanshire...lanshire turns into lawrence and you will see the creek and a parking lot...

temp is dropping big time sat night and it will be cold on Sunday...

well then Saturday during the day will be good fishing =)

Saturday it will rain, but I am going to jump in the creek and catch all the crappie with my barehands that way I won't get rained on

haha went out last night to the first deep bend on w. lawther. only caught 1 keeper. and yes there were alot of shads. i kept hitting some on the the cast waiting for the jig to fall!

but if u really wanna catch some crappies u gotta fish about 5-10 deep and go right under the shad. Thats how ive been catching some.

And about the tip of your pole/guides freezing up, i heard if u put vaseline on it you wont have any problems... i dont know if it still works with braided line.

lol thats lawther drive /'''''mapquest "lawther rd and goforth " you will see the bridge and the famous bend

I'm going to head out there Sunday afternoon sometime. I'm going to bring some rodtip de-icer, and my eskimo gear .

saw a ton of 4 inch shad (caught 3 foul hooked) last saturday in WRC ...also landed one that was 8 or 9 inches

the small ones looked like threadfin ...not sure what the big one was

also saw some kind of orange fish about 4 inches long come hit something on the surface ...gold fish? coy?

i wonder if the keeper-sized crappie are filling up on the threadfin at night under the full moon ...or maybe there just arent a lot of keeper-sized fish this year from all of last years gill netters

I believe that the gill netters put a big hurt on the fish population last year and were seeing the effects of it!!!!!!
