Fished with Gene this evening who was on his 4th shad trip of the season, this time he brought his grandson Craig. Craig landed 8 fish to Gene’s 2 fish, but that is what Gene wanted to see. His grandson catch fish. The wind was blowing hard this evening and it was hard to cast, and that made the fishing just plain tough. The flows are up to 2500 cfs from 1750 cfs and is going up to 3000 cfs tomorrow. When it stabilizes in a few days the shad bite should be good again. By the way Craig caught what I think is the big fish of the season (on my boat) 41/2 almost 5 lbs!
