Thank you all for the pointers. I will be sure to buy shiners next time and try the technique mentioned above. Saturday was a disaster. No shad anywhere below the dam that I could find. Caught 1 skippie and got impatient so went up above the dam and fished darkest creek. 10 hours of fishing and ended up with several bluegill, several huge shad caught above the dam, a drum, a yellow bass, and almost had a largemouth but lost it beside the boat and the skippie. Only the 1 yellow bass came via rod and reel. Everything else was in the cast net while looking for shad. To say my upper body was tired is an understatement. I was throwing an 8 foot radius 1.5 pound per foot net. Ended the day bass fishing with a Texas rigged worm out of pure boredom and desperation. Best part of the day was seeing several deer, about 15 turkey, a groundhog, and the scenery was awesome with the fall foliage. Grace and peace. Looking fwd to trying the shiners 'm ext time.
