[cool]Yeah, the threadfin shad are doin' (in Arizona) what the bigger American shad will be doin' next month in the cooler waters of northern California...makin' baby shadlets.
The threadfins cruise the shorelines in big schools and actually jump right up on the banks when bass and other predators blast them. Crows, ravens, grackles and other birds follow the action and dine on the little fishies that try to escape the big fish.
Thanks for the heads up on the topwater action. I hit Pleasant a lot for that kinda thing, but they have tournaments up there almost every weekend this time of year and the boaters run right over you when you are working the banks in your tube.
