Lake Ray Roberts is only about seven miles from my pond and this time of year is full of catchable threadfin shad in the shallows around the boat docks. I am going to make an attempt at catching the shad with a throw net and transporting them to my pond. I am planning on adding salt to the transport water. Does anyone else have any suggestions on keeping them alive for the ten minute trip. They will probably be in the holding tank for at least thirty minutes before being put in the pond from the time of capture.
