I went shad fishing in the CT river today just north of the Enfield Dam (Thompsonville Launch). Paul, (Cat in the hat) coached me as far as rigging and technique. Al I had to do was figure out how to achieve the right speed and depth for my boat and gear. The shad was were there. I landed 3 and dropped two others. It's not crazy difficult but it is the fine tuning that has Paul catching 3-4 to my one. The shad hit hard and fought well. It was a hoot. I will definitely do that more often. Thanks again to Paul (Cat in the hat) for showing me the ropes.
