Ouch J, that's not really what I was wanting to hear! I have my last exam of the year on Friday, and I was hoping to hit the river hard next week. Hopefully it will pick back up by then. As others have mentioned, a shad-kill has always been associated with extremely poor fishing for me.

It's also funny that you mention it, but there were quite a few dead shad floating around at Cane Creek on Saturday. It's difficult to determine if there was a shad-kill there as well, since all of those dam ducks (literally hundreds) constantly stay after those shad. It's almost like fishing in the boat with Gooch, all flailing around fighting over food.
