trophyseeker Report post Posted May 6, 2021 They're shad. Probably gizzard since they appear a bit too large for threadfin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MULEPACKHUNTER Report post Posted May 6, 2021 Yes gizzard shad. No I don’t eat them but have seen them in Asian stores. Catfish bait. Saved up 20 or so but these are huge. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saved up 20 or so but these are huge. I saw the vacuum sealer and figured the worst! Haha sorry. I'm impressed you caught 2 that big hook and line. It would be cool to troll them deep on some big anchovie hooks for the heck of it (looks like Pleasant for stripers). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MULEPACKHUNTER Report post Posted May 7, 2021 Ya pleasant striper fishing. We pick up a few largemouth during the afternoon then switched over to stripers. Caught more cats than anything but managed a few tacos and some bait for next trip. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apache7mm Report post Posted May 7, 2021 The bigger ones we shock at Talkalai are in the 1 to 2 lb range and 14" to 17". DAN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdown Report post Posted May 7, 2021 I saw a herd of them at Rosy a few weeks ago along a bank and looked like baby sharks in the water. I would say all about 12-14" and just darting and doing circles all over the place. Super erratic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
