We trolled flicker shad with only a couple fish caught with them on planer boards the ticket for us today was worm harnesses on down riggers trolled at 2.5 MPH.
Way to go Gale, sounds like you and your son had a great day. Were you marking many shad in the area you were fishing? What color were the blades on the worm harness you were using?
I only saw a few small clouds of what i believed to be shad, we kept 4 decent size wipers and tossed one back that i believe was the smallest we have ever caught there maybe 6 or 7 inches smallest walleye we kept was 16 inches the largest just under 22. One cat weighed 4 1/2 lbs the other 3. I'll give her one more shot next week then i'm headed back home to Wis for a few weeks fishing bass, northern pike and bluegills, I love the Northwoods of my home state.
