Never have fished for these - yall eat any of em? I know folks eat shad row(sp?) but wonder about the fish itself.

Good video - thanks,

J

@Jake73B well, their cousin, the American Shad is called the founding fish because our forefathers ate the crap outta these fish to stay alive! but they are VERY oily. some people do like them though. The natives would smoke them on hickory planks hence the name Hickory shad!

[YETIVIDS]

those are lil shad compared to the ones i catch in the connecticut river

[freedomfascist]

@YETIVIDS why was that worth saying in a comment then? sounds great I guess

[freshANDhesh]

they look like herring.

I am pretty sure I know this spot I think I live about 3 miles away.... isnt this considered christina creek at this point?

[eliwoohoo]

Slick little underhanded cast you started off with there..

[guahould]

@freedomfascist we get them up to 3 pounds through the ice ...

[guahould]

they must be in a spawning run ....looks like awesome fun with those tiny rods ... enjoyed this clip!! I have only ever caught them ice fishing....

[freedomfascist]

@ohioboy993 honestly im not sure buddy! call ur local DNR and ask them-

[Badshoter]

i catch shad with a casting net

[keredkered22]

that was one big ass monkey shad. We have small shad but huge catfish and bass

[LukNoSe7en]

@freedomfascist yea they just starting haha about 2-3 more weeks i think

[freedomfascist]

@LukNoSe7en sounds good.. they still hittin over there? all about gone here already for the year :(

[LukNoSe7en]

@freedomfascist haha you sure do no your shads, ill have to make a vid for you to check it out :D

[freedomfascist]

@LukNoSe7en those r probably American shad (Whites), they get much larger than the hicks do.. diff species

[LukNoSe7en]

@freedomfascist haha we do get into that action, ever heard of shanghai bend :D they come in by the thousands and there all like twice those size, you should watch my striper video, thats where we catch them at

[freedomfascist]

@LukNoSe7en sometimes the bites good.. but like I said..they're only here for 6 weeks and fight like litl bulls... why would you not want in on that action?

[LukNoSe7en]

@freedomfascist yea there fun to fight and all but, theres soo many ya no, dont you guys catch one every like 5-10 seconds too ?

[freedomfascist]

@LukNoSe7en well chief, its a migratory fish thats here for only 6 weeks a year and fights way harder than you do...

[LukNoSe7en]

whats so good about shad, that you have to record it ?

[WTRAIN63]

they make great bait but arent good eating

[bugg255]

.....are these shad edible ..if so are they good?

[freedomfascist]

[freedomfascist]
