Catching shad can be a challenge. We have only been successful twice since Aug. 1st. What we did catch did not amount to much and we did'nt even use them because the top water action was so good. They all ended up in the freezer!
If you want shad you have to learn how to toss a net. My pard, Don can toss a net perfect almost every time. I never toss one unless I'm out on my own. Sometimes we spend a long time looking for shad, tossing the net over and over, bringing in just a few at a time. Other times we get lucky and bring in enough to fill the live wells in one toss. Practice makes perfect. Toss that net on the back lawn until it lands flat and spread out every time. Get out on the water and look for shad until you find them or are convinced that they are no where to be found. Thats what I do.
