The Official Shad 2026

Hell I’d take Peapod if he’d show.

When is shad season over?

I’ve never caught a row shad, all we have are gizzard shad. Good live bait for hybrid bass

As soon as peapod sees his shadow of his former self back when he actually fished…

You people refuse to stay on topic. It makes me want to send somebody over there to do something to somebody. i got a guy. know that.

no, now is not the time. at least it wasn’t Wednesday. I went to rediversion. It sucked. not just for me, but also for my crackhead and democrat brethren on the bank and the 3 boats i could see. 15 were caught from the bank in the hour i was there. the boats did worse.

I’m waiting on tugted to greenlight me before I go back. That drive is too long for the 3 bucks I caught.

also St Stephens is decaying. you know its bad when the huddle house and the laundro-matt/lottery joint are gone.

Like @sman says,., the huddle house will be a vape shop soon*

he knows stuff

Had one of the best bites ever today. Myself, the world’s greatest, & his buddy went today. No current & we were getting them almost every cast. They turned the water on & it slowed for a few but cranked back up. Lightning & rain ran us off.

Peapod was invited & he didn’t reply to texts. It’s ok. I’ve got another secret color for him to guess

Pretty good 2.5hrs today Shad fishing with a local guide who needed some bait. No flow, but we put on a clinic. Peapod didn’t show

In these cases, do you tip the Guide or does the guide tip you?

I went out for shad for the first time this week after seeing here they are running. It was a blast, they fight like hell, especially on a fly rod!

There’s lots of herring in the rediversion. Plenty of NC boats there jigging for them. Also went today & Peapod wouldn’t come

Thanks Ted
You and your crew are definitely the shad kings
Caught some roe about 1030 on Tuesday and then they shutoff
So we left
I feel sorry for the fellas that have to travel a long ways
You don’t happen to know what time of day they was catching herring?
It’s very unpredictable when they will be biting this year
