jake I have never been able to get shad to live overnight in a tank. Shad are the most fragile bait I have ever used and everything in the pond wants to eat them. If fish have a choice of food they will always choose shad first over anything else. Ryan I agree about the hauling of water. I have a trailer that I haul the cattle tank in. It is a heavy duty dump trailer made for hualing dirt and gravel. It has heavy duty tires and brakes but I still have a flat, I guess from the weight about half the time. I now carry a speed jack and a spare everytime I go out.
