>>1031616>Are there salt water shads too?where I live shad live in the ocean most of the year, then they swim up the river to spawn. theyre an odd fish though because they only eat plankton in the ocean yet when they are in the rivers they attack jigs and baitfish.
I assume its to protect the eggs because when they are in the rivers to spawn they dont actually eat anything until theyre back in the ocean. they are also really fun to catch on ultra light tackle. dey gots dat stamina
