Wanted to try fishing with fresh bait. Bought a net, figured out how to throw it (sort of) and can't seem to locate the shad. If you have any pointers, i sure could use them. I am around the eagle point marina.
Thanks for any advice!

We had a pretty big die off here due to the cold. Threw a little Friday am, found a few small threads, but plenty of 3-5 inch Gizzards. Really prefer the big Threads this time of year.......

The past two weekends I've been able to find enough shad at EM to have sufficient bait. Not finding any big schools, but I will find a few here and a few there. Have had the most luck around the marinas in 4 to 6 fow.
