Nice fish Gotstripers....Hickories
Excellent catch, maybe I will take a ride up there this weekend.
I never fished it from boat before, but if you can find a rip with a good current you should be able to load up your live well in short order.
I know guys use shad darts, but I myself when targeting h shad, I like to use little panfish tubes, gitzits. Fire and Ice color is good or just white.
But the #1 thing I have found works dynamite on them is, a 2.5" white fin s fish, on a 16 oz. bullet panfish lead head. If you can use a 32oz. and still get it down in the current I would use that, they seem to nail it on the drop, if nuttin on the drop a slow moderate retrieve will catch you some shad, you will also be catching some schoolies as well. Get your 6.6ft rod set up out with 6# test, let me know how many baits you get. Better yet how many more 35# ers you get, happy hunting I might try and bribe someone to take a ride up there early in the morning, depending on the tide and stuff.
