First Trip for Shad

[theredboat]

Today ws our first ever trip to fish for the Shad. Fishpan and I decided to fight the wind and give it a try at Weldon. We caught 13 and at least 10 of which will be striper bait. We started at the first creek on the left and caught two. There was another boat fishing over by the big rock and on their way home the said thay picked up 25! We moved over there but fished on the down stream side and thats where we caught the rest. the only thing they wated was a white curly tail grub.. jig head color I used was either plain or pink. They did not want any other color though.

I cleaned two for dinner and they were quite tasty but the bones were a pain!
