Everyone talks about when the first Shad of the year will be caught in North Carolina.
Will it be caught in January or February????
There are even several shad tournaments giving prizes to the First Shad caught. But for some reason no one seems to talk about when the last one will be caught.
Well, when will the last shad be caught?? Will it be in late April? May? or possibly June? Note- I have seen them in a river in June.
Here is a Mothers day shad caught May the 10th, I caught a bunch and left at 7pm upon releasing this one , It was a fun few hours on the river....This is 8 days later than I have caught them on the Neuse. My previous latest day in the year was May the 2nd catching White Shad on the upper Neuse.
Pete knows where this is but he ain't talkin.lol
Date- 5-10-2015

I Started at aprox 4pm and left at 7pm upon releasing the last one. All were good hard fighters and all were caught on a white grub. I also did catch a 3 lb Bowfin to boot. Lots of Osprey's and Herons doing the same thing I was doing.........Fishing! A fun day on the water with Pete.
Those American Shad are a Blast!
