Default Re: Shad and more shad

A group of us fished North of the Gap on Saturday from 1-8. Slow day. I went 4 for 6 with a ton of bumps on flutter spoons. Broke my 10' noodle rod while foolishly trying to net a monster roe (~5#). BOO!

Wifey landed 4 on darts and father in law got a couple on C-rigged crappie jigs.

Had a ton of followers and you could see them chasing each other around in pods of 5-10 fish. Water is gin clear. It is going to break loose this week with warming water temps.

If you are in the area give it a shot. It is an amazing fight.

All fish released to hopefully create the next generation.

We fished below where you were from a boat and it was SLOW very slow. Spoke to some guys that said the couple of days ago were really good but yesterday they weren't moving through. It seems we were in between the runs to the south and the run that moved through. Oh well just my luck !

Good for you on an epic day hopefully they keep moving up.

Out of curiosity, what is "The Big D"? Since coming into this section I've had to learn all sorts of new Acronyms.
