Eventually, you'll learn what shad look like vs crappie on your sonar by throwing a net.


If you ever get this many catfish in your net like I did with crappie on this throw, just go ahead and put your rods away because it will take you about 3 days to get those little %&*@$! out of your net. IF you can get all of them out.....

Pretty soon, all the threadfin you want will be running along the banks. Like BrandoA mentioned, early is best.
