Looking for some shad or herring for tomorrow, live or fresh or even frozen. Where can I get some on the Winnsboro/Fairfield side?

Bring a cast net. Shad are easy to catch this time of year.
Gonna be on a pier, only got a 4" gizzard and a bunch of tiny threadfins last time I went for a couple dozen casts.Quote:

Jimmy Jones 1-803-377-7317 has shad and bluebacks. He is on Hy 321 just north of Chester.
Id stay away from from the frozen stuff if you could,when it thaws it has a rotten texture.I'd just as soon use a veinna sausage than a frozen shad,,that way if the fish dont bite it you can eat the rest of the veinna sausages!:yikes.Joe Varnadore Bait is probally the closest to the lake he is on 97 in great falls,803-242-4611 or 803 291 1805,,There mabey 5 minutes from the fishing creek dam...Another option would be JamieKs in fort lawn 803 872-7020,he sells live shad and has a well stocked store if you ned anything else,lead,hooks ,etc...hope this helps...
If you're coming off I-77, make sure you take highway 200. The bridge on highway 97 between 77 and Great Falls is washed out. I made that mistake a few weeks ago and had to back up and start over.Quote:
