Hey guys just wondering what the main forage in sherman is? Went to sherman last saturday? Tried pitching jigs with crawlers and leeches with no luck. We started trolling crankbaits and immediately started catching fish. Just wondering if its possible that whatever the forage in sherman is had spawned and we were getting reaction bites? Thanks for the help guys.
Like many Nebraska lakes, Sherman has a forage base made up mostly of shad.
We found this past week that smaller cranks (#5) worked better than the larger cranks (#7) of the same type and coloration.
We were not trolling but rather casting the shallows with our cranks.
Is that because the shad have spawned?
I’m not sure when shad spawn, that would be a question for Daryl.
Not sure about at Sherman but around here (Lincoln) the shad spawn is underway if not winding up I would say. Smaller type cranks are working well in the SE as well.
