Today I helped my father in law catch shad out of my pond. We threw the cast net three times around one of the diffusers and caught enough shad to fill a five gallon cooler. We caught what I thought were both gizzard and thread fin shad. Some of the gizzard shad were as big as my hand. We also caught in the net bass and crappie. Why are all these fish attracted to the diffusers?
