Catching Shad for Bait... 37 Casts Later! #castnet #shad #lakelavon

Had a tough time catching shad for bait Thursday at Highland Park on Lake Lavon. With Charlie watching things and urging us on… was able to net enough Shad to fill a Ziploc Bag… in only 37 casts! At least it was a good workout!

Did observe windy conditions, and the water was unusually warm as if you were in a bathtub. This may have impacted the Shad and their wanting to tend to a windward shoreline. Spot we tried has been a consistent producer of Shad in the past.

Caught some nice size Shad; just took a lot of strikeouts to finally get enough to fill a pint size Ziploc bag.

No worries… bait will come in handy for upcoming fishing trips!

Cast Net... for Shad

Went to Clear Lake Park at Lavon yesterday.  Rain was looming in the distance, decided to bring the cast net and catch some Shad for bait.  Found that one of the two boat ramps was closed.  Luckily, the other remained open, so we were able to cast our net and catch a few Shad before we called it a trip!
