Do like I did, use the dog for a target in the back yard for practice. Keeping them alive is another story. I have tried freezing shad, that doesnt turn out so well, maybe for some cats. But if you keep them just super cold on ice, they will stay fresh at least a couple of days, and most everything will still eat them with gusto. I have fished shad and skipjack this way with good results. I like to use smaller thread fin and alewife on a Walleye crawler rig, still have to keep them changed often to keep them fresh. The skipjack I would keep on ice until fish are located, then send them in and give them some action like fishing a big jig or plug, if not taken on the original fall.
