Wow...I've never been able to keep shad alive at all, that's good information. One question for andy though: If you are fishing for catfish, why do you need the shad alive? I keep a castnet in the boat, and whenever I find the schooling, I'll stop and throw for a minute. However, I just put them into a 5 gallon bucket and freeze the ones I don't fish with when I get back. Then I have shad for bait all year round...
For those of you who also keep fish at home (and not just in the freezer
) come visit Aquatic-Oasis.net the home of the "more serious aquarist".
