@olroy2006 Did you do what I told you to do?

[sodazv06]

Really? Thats awesome what were you using to catch them?

[75tm400]

@sodazv06 I caught this one on a lure that has a silver spinner red beads and a gold hook. I will show what I use to catch them on my next video. A lot are caught on shad darts & different types of very light weight spoons too. While migrating shad are not interested in eating so using any type of bait won't catch them. Shad are annoyed by the lures and bite at them out of anger and frustration.

Thanks for showing an interest.

isnt this illegal since its the run?

@sodazv06 It's perfectly legal to catch shad during the run as long as you have a valid fishing license.
