Spring Rituals

I started chasing shad about 2 and a half weeks ago.  They were already plentiful then with lots of big hickories and a few American shad up to 3lbs in the mix.

A few weeks later, the spots I found them at earlier were not producing as much so I scooted up to I-95.  

Good times on the fly.  

Here is a link to some shad tips and specie identification.  

Remember, you can't possess American shad or herring.
