If it rains good, like they said it is, that will be enough water for most of the creeks to load up with gizzards.
My Mom asked if I could take her shad hunting this morning. So I said let's go. Her first throw hit 6 12 inchers and a baby sand bass! Nice goin Mom!
I can't crappie fish the creeks for about a week, so look like I'll be doin some drifting or hitting the shallows with y'all.
Shad made me work for them today. The warm water had them spread out. I'd get about 6-10 per throw, plus whatever Mom would catch on her own. I think she got about 15 to 20 all by herself.
Ran into another forum member at the right time. He needed bait and I needed help.
All bagged and in the freezer. I'm good to go for the week. And some of my buddy's got a early Xmas present for the weekend too.
I would just keep them on top of ice if you are going to use them this week.

Sun was perfect so I could film the massive school of pure Gizzard Shad 2 ft from me in 2 ft of water. -Want some?
"How to find the shad."
"After you find them, Cast Your Net, get what you need for the next day or two, go fishing!
Same spot, just 10 ft over in another pocket.
What do we do with the Game Fish we catch in the net? YOU HAVE TO RELEASE ALL GAME FISH, if caught in your cast net. It could cost up to $225 per Game Fish and the warden can impound your truck or car to be actioned off. Its considered Poaching.
A few fish you will catch in the net and what to do with them.
More Shad!
This should help some of ya'll out a bit better. I dont cast my net till I see them! I met my clients at an undisclosed spot and walked down to the creek before this spot and showed them a massive school of over a million shad swarming around. Then we hit the Honey Hole for some bait. 17 mins from the time we got out of the truck to when we got back. 2 throws of the net, all the bait 3 guys needed. Otherwise, one throw will do..... The long part was the 100 yard walk over flat grass..... $75 get you the locations on where its safe to throw the net without loosing it to a tree grouper. Ill show you a couple spots, and they will be there all winter long with more showing up every time it floods! Hope this blog helps!
Just happened upon this. Soo... does this make you a master-baiter?
