    Anyone use the preserved shad for sturgeon? I just picked up a bag of the Magic Baits shad at GM. I had good luck with the frozen shad Moore’s used to sell, so I thought I’d give these a try. $12 a bag makes it a pricey experiment.
    Thanks, Ingy
    p.s. Picked up 5 last wednesday evening between 24″ & 45″.

    I did! Twice. The first and the last time.

    I really hope you have better luck with it than I did.

    Channels even turn their nose up to the preserved shad…

    I think those preserved baits are more for fish that hunt based on sight and sound and not scent.

    I made that mistake ONCE. IMO ~ for the Croix, nothing replaces fresh shad.
