Man I left about noon that day. I caught mostly white bass .I wasn't using live bait though. Where is the best place u get your shad with your cast net below the dam?

I had bruises on my stomach and under my arms where I was craddling the rod.
Between 6:30PM and 7:30 I caught at least 20 of my fish. I couldn't get them off fast enough to rebait and hook another.
I am going twice more this week.
* I understand that most of the people of this board are good folks but allow me to say this. Please be safe around dams: do not get too close, do not run full bore two feet from another boat, don't cast over another's line.
At one point I could literally have reached out and snatched the cig from the guy in the boat next to me. My only salvation is that they didn't catch squat even in the same spot. There are enough fish for all of us. Don't be greedy. By the way, the boats under the dam are harvesting way too many fish. I am going to call DNR next time.
