made a 30 pack group of my Super Special specks for when the Shad won't bite go tiny. myself and 1 other proved that out in the last Sat in may last year in Middleton. We were the only two at the point pm fish consistently catching fish all pm. He left and a friends son 8ys old jumped in beside me. I tied one on for him and you should have heard his dad. I'll pay you 20 bucks for one! Nope there for me and your son. I made Jeff 5 for this year. Yes I share with the youngins.

Cheery bombs ,Green Things, Black and white Pink Lady, think green and pink are in midge colors. Here's a secret when the fish are stacked up in front of you and will not hit ,go to a tiny dart with a weight up the line . Shad Killers Will post a pic when I'm done.
Then 70y down river it blasts off8 ft jump a 2 3/4 foot monster of a Shad The fight was on and I looked over and the boat had stopped to watch the battle 3 more jumps and 20min and the 4in wide 12 in deep head was at my hand. One bent up hook and something that could nock me off my feet. I pop out the hook and she swims away. Then I heard Keep it we want it. Well my words If I never caught another fish this long long Weekend This was worth it. PS It was a12 fish am and the rest of the5 days was 85 ams and pms What a battle. One Year they had The last Shad tourney and we hooked and landed 4 of thsess beasts..Before any of the participants showed up, Great Memories. WE should see the big ins back with the power dam shut down for 3 years
