We have been fishing Dale hard for 3 weeks-drifting shad,flippin shad,even bottom fishing when the wind was blowing so hard you couldn't hold boat with trolling motor.Been struggling to put 6-10 fish to boat each day.Size has been awesome but bites are slow.Water temps have been some of the problem ,BUT main culprit is the hugh dieoff of threadfins.Some of smallies would burp a small handfull of threadfin when brought to boat.Till shad that are weak and dead are used up, bite will still be slow.Seen a great improvement in last week ,but bite still ain't where it should be!
