Today was nothing short of epic. Armed with sink tip fly lines and a row boat from the boat house, John and I set out. Within two casts we started hooking up and it didn't let up for a few hours.

For the most part we caught Hickory shad, but John managed the catch of the day when he landed this big American Shad. The Alosa sapidissima is a bigger shad and put up a great fight. This one DID NOT want to come to the boat.

The action today was fantastic. We caught over 40 between the two of us and that is probably on the low end. Fishing with John was a blast. He knew the spots to hit and I learned a lot.
If you haven't been out for shad, be sure to give them a try. I hope I can get back out one more time to catch these great fish before they head back to the ocean.
Man, that looks like a whole lot of fun. The new header looks awesome.
