The pondowner has not mentioned Shad to me, so no not planning on it. If he asked I would probbaly tell him not to. I'm not as confident or nearly as expereinced as Bob, so I do not stock Gizzard unless the client really wants a better than 8lb bass average. In other words I feel most clients can do wonders with threadfin shad. If too cold, manage the bluegill properly, fertilize and fed and harvest bass of the right size and number and most pondowners will be happy catching chunky 3-6 lb bass with an occasional 12 lb. basss thrown in. Make sense?
