Shad fishing
Well, it's early May. In the old days, maybe more than 10 years
ago, we would already be reading posts about some stripers being
caught. Haven't seen any yet, so thought I'd try something else
I've done more of in recent years-fish for shad!
Hit the Holyoke dam and Chicopee yesterday and today; saw some
folks catching a few yesterday evening at Chicopee, not much at
Holyoke. Didn't get one myself, but actually caught a nice two
pound smallmouth by accident. Anyone else interested in the shad
run these days? Supposedly stripers run up there too, but I've never
seen anyone catch any; maybe the boat guys at Holyoke do.
