No, I was all by myself.
I freeze what shad I don't use. I think frozen anchovies or sardines are better than frozen shad in a lot of ways. Frozen whole shad does not sink when used for chum, they float for awhile and attract gulls. You need to soak them first to make them sink fast. Don likes to chop up his chum and soak it in bass oil. Shad, anchovie, sardines, we use them all. We buy sardines at an Aisan market, they are bigger and are fresh not frozen. When we are unsuccessful at netting shad we use sardines. We have done fairly well with them.
I did'nt see any topwater action happen at all on Sunday so I guess it's time to be ready for bait fishing. I hope it is not over yet, I love to throw lures.
Let me know when you are ready to fish, I'll try not to fall off the boat.
