Hey Woolly, troutjedi, Peddler & any of the rest that want to try the Shad fishin'...
They're Here!!!
Billres, was kind enough to call me Monday from the river while I was at work.
"Hey man the Shad are biting the unnamed Shad fly again, call me when you can slip off".
Called him after I got home from work as my wonderful wife said she'd mind the store
Tuesday ifn I wanted to go fishin'.
We got to the river @ sunup and after a brisk ride upriver... Found the Shad Still bitin'
Nice Hickory Shad was the first in the boat:
Small American Shad:
Bill with a bend in the rod:
Another nice Hickory:
The Shad bit off & on all morning. Missed a lot of bites, had several slip the hook and I broke 1 off due to slow fingers (4x tippet & operator error = fish and fly gone).
Wound up with around 20 or so. Mostly Hickories and 3 Americans.
Weather warmed up nicely and we left 'em bitin' @ 1:00PM.
Last two of the day. Bill & another Hickory:
20" American Shad:
Thanks again Bill fer another good day on the water.
Tell Bill to put his shirt back on, we don't want to see no man boobs 8) BTW nice overhauls, they go good with that shirt. I never knew you were so GQ :D Can ya tell how jealous I am?
