Rumor has it that Alex had an American Shad on the line today.
I would expect these to shut off if we get the cold front coming through.

That rumor is true, I looked that fish right in the eye as it threw the hook. I was so stunned by the sight of an American shad in February I forgot how to land a fish. There were a couple other shad hooked yesterday. To my knowledge no one has landed one.

Cold front will shut it down temporarily. The few shad here will stay but be very difficult to catch. The best chance at a February shad may be today.

Wow! February Shad! Anyone keeping the spreadsheet up to date? Looks like it hasn't been updated for a while...
