Thanks for the responses. Still no luck catching one of these things. Have not picked up a throw net yet but plan on tackling that this weekend.
If thats a gizzard shad in the pic esshup, that looks really really close to what I'm seeing. I've heard these things are not the best to have in your pond. I'm also confused how they got in there because I've tried to make sure noone put anything in like that. I did buy this place with the ponds already there but surely I would have seen these things before now right? This is the third spring we've owned the place.
So, now what? I'm assuming number one get my hands on one and get a pic posted. But, assuming these things are gizzard shad, and my goal is bass, bluegill, and a few channel cat, how detrimental would or could these shad be?
