I was behind Bart's today from 4:30-7 PM. When I arrived, there were 4 others fishing but no shad on the bank. The water was down about 2' from Saturday, clear, and flowing well. I forgot to grab a surface temp today, shame on me... A few more folx joined us on the bank later on.

A little before 5 PM, one of the usual suspects landed a small buck. A little after 5 PM, I had a solid hook-up, and a great fight with several long, drag screaming runs as Ms. Shad tried to run deep. She was long, fat, and heavy, about 4#+. I don't keep many but I kept her for my table. M-m-m, fresh shad! A few more shad were caught, all bucks, but by 630 or so, that was all she wrote.

Terminal tackle: 3/8 oz drail, changed out to 1/2 oz as 3/8 wasn't holding bottom with the current today, over 2' flouro leader, and a green/white silver willow w/black dot.

Tight lines!
