[swampratt]

I eat drum also..and carp.
I have not eaten any shad.. but seen an Asian guy saving them and he was going to pickle them.
Sounded good.

I saw where a woman caught a 24.7 on Thursday to break the lake record. Is this a new one today? The last couple weeks have seen some monsters caught for sure.

It was tweeted on the 5th by Sport Fishing Texoma. Not sure if it's been verified with the state.

There is no way that could possibly be good.

I do not know how a sardine smells when taken from the sea.. but tasty stuff..
Cheese smells like butt hole and it is tasty also.. chocolate smells about the same.

I won't turn it down on the first try.
maybe the second try.

I ate a shad live once. Washed it down pretty quick with a beer. Dare. And even had to chew it up good to show it was chewed up.

Nice looking fish from the lake, but as most know, the big ones are below the dam!!!

Drum is excellent! Crayfish is their main diet.

120 acres, I had to go to a tech school a couple of years ago in Vermont. The river that ran between Vermont and New Hampshire was lined with people and fly rods. Shoulder to shoulder for a least a mile that I could see.

I asked the driver if Atlantic salmon season was open. Was shocked when he told me it was Shad season.

SERIOUSLY??
They grow to 2 lbs and are regulated by seasons??

Fly fishermen love them I guess. Maybe not as stinky as ours are? Different breed?

It was a lady that caught is and it was 24.7 lbs and most of the big fish are all being caught dead sticking

 

[dennishoddy]

Can you describe what dead sticking is?

We use a 1 1/2 once jig head with a zoom super salty fluke and just drop it down just like live bait and let it sit. The striper will tap it just like a crappie you have to be very quick to get the bite. We started doing this in 2010 and have perfected it and have shown a lot of people. we have also shown a lot of the other guides how to do it and it is catching on very fast. it only works when the water temps are below 57 and is at its best in January and February If you have never done it you need to get out and try it. We can teach you how to do it and once you do it once it is all you will want to do.
