gettin bit Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 i believe it is a gizzard shad. and it was prolly trying to breed with your lure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oprcsr Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I was throwing a 6 inch TT and an 8 inch one tonight and had 3 or 4 shad constantly swimming around them. Kinda crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time of year at Marburg is a great time to see shad attempting to have their way with your bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swinbaitbassing Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 How do you like the banshee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comescrashing Posted May 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 I like the action on it and the fact that I can throw it on regular gear since I don't have a swimbait set up and won't for awhile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish_whisperer Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Those are some freakishly large shad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flaswimbaiter Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 This one was bigger than some of the bass I've caught... Dam Lucas that's a pig, we get some big ones, but not that big! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the problem with big gizzard shad. Nothing around here big enough or plentiful enough to eat the damn things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
