Fished out of Jamestown Friday night. Had trouble finding many shad. Water temps mid to uper 60's. Seemed that the lake was being pulled pretty hard. Talked to one fella with one striper and several walleye- he was lamenting the lack of shad on the banks as well. He caught his fish on Thundersticks, while another caught theirs on Slivers.

That's pretty much it Bob. The only difference is that the shad seemed to be further off the bank than they will be when they really get going so I was casting parallel 6-10 ft from the bank. When they really get going I want to keep it from 0-6 ft. I've never tried the, let it sit, twitch retrieve, so I'll have to give that a try. I start reeling and soon as it hits the water and keep a slow steady retrieve. The way I like to retrieve(Redfin) is if your lure isn't making a v wake and you can't hear the BBs working, you're going to fast or too slow. The more BB noise the better. I whole heartedly agree on the stealthy approach.
