Hog Wally Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 I fish primarily for hybrids also but I guess I'm not sophisticated enough to drift fish with shad I usually just hope they come up with the whites. I would love to try that. I saw you drifting around 03. The walleye were just to easy for some reason We did limit out on whites two days. The walleye were in the gap between the pea gravel point which is still under water, and the opposite end from osage bluff. Turpin cove on right out of osage has been holding more big shad this year than anywhere I've seen. Right around that boat ramp. I killed the everything in there 3 weeks ago. From main point to that ramp. Trolling with cranks. Dang I'm jealous of you catching them hybrids. I dream of those suckers. Best eating too.
Members Wahoo61 Posted July 12, 2013 Author Members Posted July 12, 2013 On the shad thing, you have to have a round or oval bait tank with filtration. You have to be willing to throw a cast net for hours, and then be willing to deal with the days when nobody is home after you have worked your butt off to catch bait. But when it is on, there is nothing like it around here. We fish the shad on slip sinkers 2-4 oz over a barrel swivel with about 2-3 feet of floro leader. Hooks to match the bait size. Usually fish down around 14 feet, but it can very depending on where you are marking fish. set your drag lite to medium and get ready. If you decide you want to get into the Shad thing, there are a few things to know about keeping them alive, water tempt, etc. There was a 30 gallon Sunshine Bait tank for sale on KC craigslist yesterday for $250. Tight Lines. My number is 816 522-5063 if you want to talk about it sometime. Tight Lines.
