shad are bitting in (lambertville)

[PROUDDAD]

Guys,

Are the shad being caught, to eat, or to be used as bait for Stripers?

the wing dam, and the rock wall above it are usually pretty good. you will see others there fishing those areas so there are easy to pick out

most guys are just catching them because they are great fighters on light tackle.
some guys eat them , but they are tough to fillet correctly because they have so many bones in them, many like the roe from the females also

just finished a bike ride loop and crossed back home across lambertille/nh free bridge.

windy as all heck but the big d river guide boat was out just down from the bridge. they were definitely getting into fish. in the couple minutes I watched they lost 1 but brought in 2. I shouted to them and they said they caught 10 so far.
