Out before the sun this morning
So I've been fishing all over the Smyrna area the last few weeks trying to learn the new area. I've been wanting to get into some catfish. So I finally bought a cast net in hopes of finding shad and then getting into some cats. Headed out before the sun this morning. Got to a spot I'd been seeing a ton of shad the last week, and there we're blow ups EVERYWHERE. So I threw out my favorite hoops popper and in 3 casts, hooked 3 bass. All about 1.5/2 lbs. love hearing the water explode when you're still fishing in the dark, never gets old. Started throwing the net for shad and got about a dozen various sized thread fin and gizzards. I threw them out on a slip rig with a circle hook. I managed to catch another 4 or 5 bass on the shad. But no cats. All in all a good day, it's nice to know that now I can catch shad to fish with. Any one have recommendations on targeting cats from the bank? A guy I ran into said fishing from the bank I should cut the shad up rather than fish them live. Any advice is appreciated as always.
And sorry, it's not letting me upload my photos.
Tight lines!
