Last year when we were on the topic of awaiting the Shad Run, Mike Bailey (aka Animal) put out some of the best information I have ever read on the subject. All TPFRers would do well to read it several times throughout the run this year. In fact, you may just want to print a waterproof copy and keep it in your pocket this spring! When you see Mike on the water (and you will), PLEASE take the time to express your appreciation and thank him for this unselfish contribution.
I was going to post this on the other Shad thread, but it deserves a title and thread of its own.
See you all out there!
