Wednesday 5/15 after work American for shad

I've got a couple buddies that have been doing recon with drift boats and there are big schools all over.   Plenty above Sunrise for sure!

Mikey? Fished with him yesterday. We got into them good.

Just as an FYI for those of you not familiar with that stretch of river and may come tonight. Make sure you are fishing with barbless hooks as this area is in the barbless section. Also as another note only a single rod can be in the water at a time.

Dang it! I have class at 6pm today or I would join you all. Maybe next time. I would love to float & tackle some Shade. I know between Watt & Howe is producing big schools of Shade right now.

Good luck and keep those lines tight! Can't wait to see the review/pics
