[The Merrimack river in the Lawrence , No. Andover area gets a good shad run during May and June and the river has plenty of accessable shoreline. We fish them with 1/64, 1/8 shad darts with a couple pea weights. Last year there were plenty of fish and really nice size. If you have a small boat we fish stripers with live herring. Last year was just fair for the striper run because of a smaller than usual herring run. But the fish that were to be had were nice size 32,34,36 with a few big fish being taken. Boat access is just below the Lawrence Dam other tan that its a long and rocky trip up river from Haverhill. Give it a try its worth the trip.
