I'd start in mid to late Feb. if the weather continues to be warm. I believe that they enter the rivers when the water temperature reaches 55f or there about. There may be some there now, so give it a go and report back.

| Did somebody say shad? Keep your ear to the ground and your eyes on the thermometer and hope the water keeps running. If you flow it, they will come. |

Does anyone know if boat rentals are available in the Moncks Corner/ N. Charleston area? I'd like to be able to rent a jon boat to fish for shad in the tailrace instead of trailering my rig up there.

Hey JWS, in Tailrace or Wilson's?
You can't catch fish on a dry line |

| I have caught shad in the rivers before using a johnson silver spoon with a red bead in fromt of the spoon. the best way to catch shad in ib behind a damm, the fish can't go up river anymore and fish the deep side you can catch them. |

Try Wilsons Landing. Its behind the santee dam. You can catch them from the bank there. |
