Hey Dave,
I went out last weekend with minnows using a slip rig setup from the bank with absolutely no bites all day. The lake looked down and I felt like I may have been in too shallow. What rig are you using with those shad and where are you seeing action.
that whole area over there is about 2 feet deep. gets like 8ft deep in the channels if you’re gonna fish there make sure you hit one. the one i know of is on the north side just across from your map marker.
I mainly fish for catfish. Are you trying for crappie on those minnows or catfish? need some shad? using santee rig with about 5 feet lift if deeper than 15 feet, if 0-15 ft just letting them hit the bottom.
Those are some big shad!
