If you have an overabundance of threadfin shad (not gizzard shad) I would think that someone would pay you a good bit of money to try to harvest them to relocate them to lakes that need more forage.
I appreciate all of the responses, and want to follow up specifically on this one.
If you are interested in harvesting and relocating threadfin shad from a 7-acre pond in Central Alabama please email me:
