Met up with my buddy Daryl to take the First Impression out for shad
on the AR. Hit my regular stomping grounds and immediately saw a school
of fish running around. made a few cast missed a hit then they were
gone. Searched around for a while and found the area that they were
traveling in the most. The area right now has a decent amount of shad in
the area, but unfortunately for shad fishing
there are also a fair amount of stripers in the area and until more
shad move through it has the shad that are here really on edge. They
aren't holding in any lanes and are spooking pretty easy. They are
swimming around in schools
of 100+ fish though and its just a matter of getting your jig in there
when they swim by and hoping one will decide to hit your jig.
Early in the afternoon right when we got started Daryl and I found em biting.
I would leave my rod in the rod holder casted out about 20ft and then reel up and cast to em when we saw them swim by. We got most of our fish casting to em, but I did stick a few leaving it in the rod holder.
Saw 4 or 5 stripers working the area ranging from 3-15lbs today. Tossed a soft shelled crawdad in front of two of em to have them bolt over and nose it, but only to turn away and swim off from it. No takers today, maybe next time. Fished until just after 2000 for roughly 10 or so fish to the boat. Pretty good evening seeing as I got skunked last time I came out. It should only get better from here on out. Will be out again tomorrow. The bit died off around 1930 anyways which was really weird.
Till Then
