Preserving Shad

[chizzle]

Either get an aerator or construct a shad live well using a laundry basket with fine holes. I used a hard plastic basket and tied some of the water noodle material around the edge so that it would float. When boulder harbor was still open, I would net shad and put them in the floating basket, it worked pretty well. Only problem I ran into was the birds learned that there was free shad in the well and I would have to guard it from them.

I freeze all my shad that I dont use and feed it to my three huge Silver Arowanas.
