Snuck out this afternoon after the thunderstorms and rain quit to try to find out if there were any shad available to do some live bait fishing (I'm out of nightcrawlers) emoBig
. Not a single shad to be found. They are either very deep or just plain not there. Luckily, I brought a skipjack for backup and decided to use that 4# test line again. I managed a 12, 2-8&#39;s, and a 6 on it but found few fish and no bigger ones.<br />I saw puddle jumper &amp; wife out there and discovered his fish-getting secret. He begs them from other fishermen!!!!!! emoUp emoDoh
