Hi, I am a question, I always go fishing at Hillsdale Lake in Kansas. Yesterday I went there and it feel a little different. the water is still and there are millions and millions of shad in the water all over the water. Seeing so many shad I am thinking of netting some for bait. A cast of net got me a couple hundreds of shad... and it is about 2-3 inch size.......And I didn't got and fish yesterday......
My question is that, why are there so many shad in the water, does it meant that there are no more big fish in the water to feed on them? With access to so many shad, would it be useful to net some and use it later when there are gone? Last question, how do i store them? I see at basspro, the sell the shad in red oil. what is the red oil and how can i make it? thanks
