Tons of Shad in Overpeck Crek

[Vlad2075]

These damn shad are making me look bad. I went back there today and didn't see any at all at the Pal Park section. At the Ridgefield Park section I saw one and that's it. DEFINITELY NOT WHITE PERCH.

Keep a spinning rod and a bunker snag in the car...

I just got off the phone with the Bergen County Parks department....it's been confirmed. There are Shad in Overpeck

Vlad, thats tidal brackish water.
I'd put my money on herring. stripers are right behind them.

Catch them and show some pics.

[Vlad2075]

Privateer,

I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was Herring since Shad and Herring are related. If the Stripers are right behind them, then I'm certainly getting my big rod ready

I tried to catch them today but no luck at all. I only saw one Shad today compared to the 20-30 i saw yesterday

I believe it because a buddy of mine saw a school of them last year in a little creek off of kinderkamack which leads to the hackensack river. if there in the hacky they have to be in overpeck
