Shad are in heavy now. First time out for me ,and what a blast it was.
River is at normal flow and is murky. Gold and chartruse seem to be the ticket. I was using a green and white shad dart with a yellow and silver flutter spoon. Guys with gold where doing a little better. Shad are all over the river right now. Water temp is in the low 50's
Today they hit silver for me. I like a dart &spoon combo. Gets them every time. What a blat. Ran into some nice guys today. My wife hung out in a chair and watched. Now that is a moters day.
Sometimes you can get them on anything other times they are picky. I ran into some guys coming back from where I was and they said it was slow. They where using gold. I went down there with silver and smashed them. You never know. They are a great fighting fish for sure. Good practice for steelie season from shore. This rain should move them around .
