[#0000FF]The first hatches of shad are now getting big enough for the wipers to eat. But there are two factors that are resulting in few to no boils. First, the wiper numbers are way down. Second, the shad numbers are way up. Lots of food for fewer fish mean the fish do not have to work as hard for their groceries. If they can get all they want to eat without having to chase shad to the surface then why bother?[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]There are sporadic "slurps" and a few stray splashes but only a couple of real "boils" have been reported. And those usually only last a few seconds.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]Conditions this year are far different than in the wide open wiper action of a few years ago.
