A Little F-n-F on the Creek

Now I am offended...you didn't mention Carolina-Rigging Silver buddies and pitchin timber...

BTW, what colors are the shad and how long?

Size ranged from very small barely over an inch, with the bulk being in the 2 to 2 1/2 inch range. Typical shad color, grey, silver, small black dot, very typical. It's been since the late 80's I guess since I've seen a Shad spawn like this down at the Big C. In the back's of some of the creeks it feels like you could get out of the boat and walk across their backs.

I wander how much they'll grow in the next 5-6 weeks. I want to tie this batch to coincide with the length....? Grey and silver......???Interesting....You know I think I already have a duckfeather/craft hair version similar to that....

Thanks Mark,

Usually the threadfin stay very small, less than three inches or so. It's even changed the striper habits a little and guys are throwing smaller baits to get bit. I'd say if you stayed in the 2 to 3 inch range amd even some smaller ones you would have it nailed. Threadfins don't get alot of size like the Gizzards will down there.

Seems I've noticed a lot of threadfin everywhere this year.....Cumberland was crammed full of em....Green had more than I've ever seen....even saw a lot of em on kentucky lake...these colder wetter conditions this year must have made them thrive...could make the fnf bite on like donkey kong this winter because there isnt a better imitation of a slowly dieing threadfin
