Found shad easy yesterday afternoon. Soaked for several hours, lots of snags. Managed one 5lber. But the fireworks were beautiful.
The one we caught was around 9pm, 14ft depth along the old riv chanel.
I wanted to get an early start Saturday so we could get off the water before the holiday troublemakers got out there. We went Friday afternoon and gassed up the boat and caught bait. Shad were EVERYWHERE! The big shad, 10" +/- were all over the place. Made me think we were gonna have a good day yesterday. Sadly, that was not the case.
