Be sure to check out Jim's bait tank design in his "More OH Striper and Cats" thread. It will help keep some shad alive. Or use a small cooler with ice and just throw them in it to use as cut bait. I still can't keep skipjack alive, but I will use them as cut bait, and there is an infinite source of them at the steam plant. I have only had good luck using them fresh for cut bait for stripers. I tried keeping a bunch in the freezer before and just taking it as I needed it, but it turns kinda mushy and I didn't get any takers on it..
