Nice report. I have explored a little up there with limited success. Nice to know somebody is up there pulling out some fish. How did you catch the shad? I wonder how far they go up the White clay?

Good job getting a nice variety. Shame that I live 3 minutes from that ramp and have yet to go out of there, nice little 14 alum boat with a 15 hp and a trolling motor. I really need to launch from there some time. Good luck on your next run out of there...

M-SIFF they go as far as they can get,have caught them above the dam behind shone's lumber,good place when the tide drops and they get caught on the up side of the dam,theres a nice little hole they will hold up in right at the base of the dam,but the shad we caught in the report were in white clay right around the mouth of hershey creek,

hmm...I will have to figure out that area to see what you are talking about. I know of a damn all the way up in PA where I trout fish. Man would it be coolto catch shad up there. It is beautiful.
