Water Temp 50 degrees
Partner Today- Tony
Hit several spots today in search of shad. First spot yielded me a Big American but not any more hits. We left and went to several others and at every spot they were biting earlier and we missed the bite. Not a bad day today as we saw a lot of nice water , but I failed to put Tony on his first shad.
Big fish of the day caught in a Contentnea Creek. Then we headed North to the Tar River.

Note- Shad fishing is kinda like Spot fishing on Piers. What I mean is that 99 percent of the time when you arrive at "your fishing spot" usually you dont want to see another person there. But, when shad fishing you want a crowd there as if they are not there then the fish aren't either.
