Has anyone seen a shad spawn happening? I haven't seen anything yet.

I did post a picture of some freshly made shad recently. I found 3 separate groups in the shallows, all very tiny, but good size schools.

They’ll hump on the side of your boat, your kayak, your tube, your legs and fins. Pretty much anywhere they feel like it!

Like StinkyPinky23 said you see it, you feel it and you feel used. Fry look like clouds in the water.
