Shad

[NJ219bands]

Went fishing 🎣 in 40 degrees Carnegie Lake this evening on a cool, sunny day with a strong west wind. Caught nothing with worms 🪱. Caught and released a gizzard shad while ultralight jigging. When I threw it back into the lake, a gull caught, then swallowed it. One of the eight other fishermen snagged shad. Looks like the lake is fished out. Took photos. Cormorants caught then swallowed shad. A great blue heron tried to steal shad from the cormorants but was unsuccessful. A bald eagle 🦅, Canada geese and mallards flew nearby.
