I’m sure they are at Tailrace now but I don’t go until Santee gets right.
That landing at Tailrace is BS
I could call my BIL if I really wanted to know but we got into it at Christmas and I ain’t asking him ■■■■.
I’ll ride over and see how many trailers are there tomorrow.

Went yesterday to low water, no water moving, very people & zero bites. Water temp is still too cold

How deep is that water below the tailrace when they are running water through there? I’ve fished in the Susquehanna below Conowingo dam when the Shad were there and that water can be tough to fish when there’s a lot of water running through the dam. I have been trying to get over there since covid started, and something always came up that prevented it. I poured a bunch of shad darts to try, 1/8 oz up to 1 oz, but want to be sure I have it covered well, once I do get over there. It’s only about a 20-25 minute ride for me from here.

You definitely have it covered with those weights
Not exactly sure on depth but they don’t turn much water loose there nowadays.
If we could just shut down them locks for shad season,we’d have a banner year for sure

I don’t go to the tailrace anymore

Let me make some phone calls.
