Okay, just wondering, has anybody ever used small crappie to catch Striper?
Jig thru shad, catch shad, drop back to get the crappie, then drop the crappie down 40 feet to get the Striper. ?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Not sure you can legally do that as croppie is a controlled species.

It sounds like a great idea to use small shad as bait. As long as you can keep them for a few hours!!!!

the key to keeping the sgad alive is a round bait tank and good air circulation. if they can they will back into a corner and die within 5-10 minutes.
in the winter the little creek that runs down the side of the upper dam at Mcalpine is full of little 2-3 inch shad. i use a large dipnet and with 2-3 scoops i got enough bait to fish with all day. im sure if you were using these to fish for crappie it would work,
