I will try to jig up some to live line for stripers.
One of the best free baits around (after squid, macks and pogies)!

I think shad are mostly just catch and release now. So no possession for live lining........

just tell the fish warden that you keep trying to take one for a walk on your "makeshift" leash, but the big fish keep eating them....
