Hey Derek,

Were you between the bridge and the country club or between the bridge and Bramlet's house?

Brother Terry got into a mess of Shad like that one last year at white rock lake. I think he had around a hundred in the net at one throw. That's an awesome Shad. Don't forget to get the gizzard out and put it on a hook.

Both of those are on the south side of the bridge. I was on the north side. Caught them on the north west side of the bridge.

Yes you can fillet him when thawed out. Or you can cut in 4 pieces and use them whole.

That's what I use for bait in the winter. If they are that big no need to salt before freezing.

If I were you I would go stock up and freeze a few bags for the winter, About 5 per gallon bag makes for 1 good trip.


Having fun is hard work sometimes! Not the biggest but big enough!

Someone is fishing that spot. realmad So I said screw it and went to a little bridge on the north side of this lake (30 second drive) First cast right under the bridge and got nothing. Moved down a little and thru right into a mess of hydrilla hoping to catch some big perch. Pulled up and had 4 nice gizzard shad. I got pretty fired up. Moved down a bit more same deal. I was like wow this little 800+/- acre lake has some nice shad.



Then it happened. I moved down a bit more. Thru out the net in a mess of weeds. My rope was twitching. I figured I'd caught a big bass. Pulled up the net and had a big ole shad. I yelled booyah [censored]. I was pretty fired up for catching a big shad like this. At least I can say I now have a PB for something. rolfmao





I will take a dozen please, forget that 2 dozen. Thanks
