Thanks, I went out on Tuesday at 3 pm and had no problems finding shad but went up lake about 8-10 miles and started catching the wipers on shad pretty heavy for about an hour. Then when I left I experienced motor problems and could only go about 5 mph so I had a slow 10 miles back to the launch ramp. That ended my fishing for the week. The bad thing was as I was making my way back to the state park ramp near the dam wipers from time to time blowing up around me but I was afraid to stop and fish just in case my motor would stop running. But had a great time and will be back sometime but probable not this year. Zcarey, thanks for the reply.
