I don't think you were seeing shad.....think it was some other baitfish.....probably golden shiners

i have been there hundreds of times back 20 years we would pull our camper there cause the wife loves the campground and I would fill a 48 quart cooler to the top with 8 to 10 inch fish davis lake has always been like that the lake is to small to grow decent size fish any biologist will tell you that

I have been fishing Davis off and on since 1963........Donnie is right.

anybody can catch a cooler full all you need is a 4 foot ultra light rig and a 1/32nd oz jig cast and count down and kill em they are like piranhas in the spring you can catch them 1000 a day on the high bluff across the lake but all 6 to 9 inches long every cast that was 20 years ago its fun no doubt but i would rather be catching grenada fish just my and i bet money 2 years from now them 9 inch fish will have eyes as big as nickles im sure there are a few 12 to 14 inch fish but that is a 7 year old fish or older if you believe what the biologist say

Nice pair!
