Alewives\Shad

Has anyone had any luck catching Alewives or Shad so far this year? If alewives or shad aren't available, do you prefer shiners or suckers?

Depends on what you're fishing for.......

If you want to catch anything that swims, you can't go wrong with shiners.

Caught plenty (Alewives mostly, few threadfin) last weekend on Dale.

I should have been more specific and asked about fishing for stripers.
