The new largemouth bass board split it up too much. Maybe when trophy catfish season starts up this board will get some attention.

largemouth board? Do you think I can ask them guys to save them for bait? Shad are hard to find right now. A cat might like something to eat.

It seemed to me that the freshwater forum was more active before the Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass forum was opened. Maybe not enough posts to split up - neither are very active boards. I do a mix of fresh and saltwater fishing but 99% of my freshwater fishing is for Bass although I catch the occasional crappie, catfish and bluegill. I'm hoping to get on some Pickerel as soon as the weather clears.

As for shad ... where are you? The creeks off the James River have shad right now. I cast netted half a dozen 8" stinkers the other night while shrimping. I'm freezing a few bags of shad for the winter giant cat action on the James. If anyone thinks shad are always small - check out the photo.

Where is Capt Joe Cannon?

He don't answer calls, he don't post here anymore. Has he become so famous that he forgot his old friends?

If we all took up a collection do you think we could get the $5.00 for his ransom or should we charge the kidnapper $20.00 for us to take him back?

Sorry to be such a rookie, but...how do you catch your shad for bait? I've been a saltwater guy till now and this big catfish thing has all my attention! I've tried large minnows, but not the same as what y'all are throwing out there. I caught my only decent-sized cat on an eel I caught earlier in the day, and I can't find anyone that has eels for sale between Chestefield and Hopewell.
Any useful advice would be appreciated!

Learn to throw a cast net. Not to hard. Watch u tube how to videos. Or cheat and buy a gill net. (my choice)
