Sunrise on the Big D

Thanks for the report. I never caught a shad from the Delaware river, but i'm going there on Sunday to attempt to

While fishing in the D&R Canal for trout today I saw a few boats out and I saw one boat land two I'm guessing they were shad. I've lived within five minutes of the river for more than half my life, have caught tons of smallmouths in the Big D but yet never fished for shad. I've been tempted to just toss a spoon or inline spinner to see if I could catch one from shore when the trout aren't biting but figured it wouldn't work so I've never bothered.
