Well, I'm still not sure, BW, but I think it was a hickory shad

I don't often get them, last one I got was probably 10 years ago - but then I don't target them, either - Uncle Zeke hits that spot a lot in the Spring looking for them. They're more of a rarity in our area -

I dunno, I've gotta check my Dentons to be sure - it really did look like a little tarpon, didn't it? About 17 or 18" on that little Kurokin Megabait.

And yeah, they are edible, but you've gotta bone 'em first -

I returned to the scene last nite but the herring flew the coop and so did the little bait - I did manage to pick up one 26" fatty on a mini black Mambo and that was it...

I'll take a break today - my next target there is gonna be TOG but it's May 15 today - so be on the lookout for squeet there soon

Oh yeah, my diet the last few nites has been freakin' splendid - weinies Friday and midnight French bread pizzas last night

	"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
