Default Re: Let's talk about SHAD !

Many years ago I caught a tagged shad in the Delaware River. When I reported it to the biologist, he didn't believe me. I had to send him the tag. It was tagged near Lambertville, NJ, the previous spring. In the olden days, the biologists thought that shad did not return to the river each year and most of them died after spawning. My shad was in the river on 2 consecutive years.
