Looking for a Shad fishing partner or info.

[Woofish]

I relocated from NJ in fall of 2005 to South Orleans, Ma. For years I have fished the spring for Shad in the Delaware River and stripers on Cape Cod during the summer. Since moving to the Cape, I have missed my shad fishing and would love to get some info or someone to show me the ropes. I prefer American shad, but also enjoy hickories. I have run a very popular shad website for many years, and feel lacking in my knowledge of shad in NE. I know places like the Merrmack offer both stripers and shad in the spring, but I have never fished there. Any help would be appreciated. The lousy surf fishing on the Cape last year also has me frustrated. There is definitely a serious problem with the availablity of large bass. I am new to using this BB, so please excuse any blunders. I have found a lot of great info on this board. I thank you all for that.
