Default Shad fishing on the Big "D"

Went shad fishing the last 2 days on the Big "D" and fishing was excellent. I caught 13 on the 1st day and 7 on the second. Caught a few real big roe. All my fish where caught from shore.I normally fish for shad from a boat so this was a good accomplishment for me. I talked to a few guys that where out on boats and heard of catches anywhere's from 40-60. Flutter spoons seem to be the hot lure. All my fish where caught north of Milford. Get out there if you can the bite is HOT! http://i1253.photobucket.com/albums/hh590/Captken123/shad%202_zpslmm8y0qs.jpg

Awesome day on the river it looks like! Great catch to boot.
This is what I've been waiting for, this week I'll try to catch my first shad for sure.

GL if you get out there again, sounds like they are flooding into the river now, even past the water gap.

I heard of some very good reports north of "The gap". One report was none stop action for at least 4 hours all from shore. Get out there ...the time is NOW!

Cool Re: Shad fishing on the Big "D"

UPDATE: Heads Up !! I heard there is going to be a big shad tournament this coming weekend with the biggest grand prize they ever had and I believe it goes for 2 days. I am sure that the river will be extra busy. Might want to find a lesser fished spot to avoid the crowds! Just sayin!
