Is it very effective? We normally don't start jugging until the end of may but I will be fishing from April 6-14 and wouldn't mind have a few catfish to go along with the crappie.

I figured it would be to early for a flathead.
Hey Fishinfreak, remember- you have a whole 2 gallon bag of frozen shad in my freezer!!
Speaking of shad. Do you think there will be shad when the water levels get back to normal? I haven't seen any lately.

They'll be put to use that week. We were supposed to use them over the summer but never got the chance.
