I was having a blast catching these with an untralite and tiny castmaster in West Haven, CT a few years back. Middle of the day, mid July, 90 degrees and flat calm. They were holding along a small jetty. I was wading about knee deep. I hook one and it shoots straight up but out of the corner of my eye I see a big swirl 10 ft to my left. Next thing, the shad comes flying at me, literally runs thru my legs with a ^%$^* Cow chasing it in 18" of water. The shad beached itself rather than get eaten. I quickly grabbed a heavier rod and lobbed it back out, she grabbed it, and i MISSED THE HOOKSET!!!! Dohhhhh!!!!

So, yeah, bass eat them.
