Do it Anthony! Maybe it's just cabin fever or keeping away from the opening day trout mobs but no fish gets me more excited than American shad. I'm always cool as a cucumber when my pards and I go for stripers, blues, sharks, etc. But shad? Fuggeddaboutit. I've been out twice already and I know darn well there's not a shad within miles of my favorite part of the river. Hopefully you'll be just as excited when you catch your first one. Good luck.
