Thanks for the heads up Phil.

Well I am not a shad kill expert but may be a good time to try it out. Only way to learn is to go try it. Guess the best thing may be a white mega worm???

I know Jeremy swears by them.

We will see.

He's throwing a grey/white beaded streamer, not very big.  But a small jig or clouser or anything white/gray should work.  Unless they're seeing a ton of shad, the fish won't be too discriminating.

Yeah - I'd love to make a day trip.

Dad and I were there Sunday and we were throwing white jigs letting them drift close to the top and the fish were coming out of the water for them. They barely ate at the dam because they were so gorged so we went down river to find where they were eating... it was AWESOME watching these fish blow up on a jig like a smallmouth on top water!

Surprised that they weren't vomiting up shad with that full belly.
