Shad and more shad. Ever since they have raised the flows and with the heat, shad fishing has been awesome to good. Have gone out 3 times in the week and hooked at least over 10. With the best evening being over 20. Heck! Just catching over 5 is awesome to me. These little boogers can fight! Heard a rumor that someone hooked into a 7 pounder that almost spooled him. That's big compared to the usual 2-3 pounds on average. If you have never done shad fishing, try it at least once or until you hook one. You just might become a shad addict.
First off, start small with trout gear. 4 pound test is plenty big and use a medium light to light rod. Get some 1/16 ounce jigheads. Buy some 1 inch pink or champagne grubs. Cast out and let her drift in the current. The bites are usually very subtle. Watch your line, if it stops, twitches, set the hook! Fish on! Now just enjoy the ride.
