With the abundance of bait fish in the water one could only assume a large number of fish will be on the bite, however, reports suggest otherwise. There have been few Shad and only a handful of edibles around.

Red eye belly and fresh Chokka seems to be the best bait, presented on a thick chunk of glow foam secured to a Mustad big gun 4/0.
