along the bank in 3 to 10 feet of water you will see the tails "flipping" just like you see menhaden doing at the beach,cut the motor off and drift in then throw the cats net over them and fill your cooler !! we never even bother trying to keep them alive.....the shad we use for bait are 10 to 14 inches long and we cut em in bait size steaks just like shark fishing .......

no deep holes - we sat in 1 spot the whole time 100 yards away from where we got the bait.......bait was in 6 foot of water and the drop of went to 14 and thats where sat the whole time.....right on the channel edge
