Ive been seeing alot of big shad lately in some of the lakes i fish...they appear to be spawning and sometimes chase my flies or lures. In the carolinas i used to catch hickory shad in the rivers on spinners (people eat thier roe, it actually tastes pretty good fried up believe it or no)
my question is....can you catch them regularly, and how? i want a few for cut bait for catfishing. i thought they ate only tiny plankton or something like that, althought ive heard of people catching them by mistake sometimes...
