Why would you stock shad to feed them? Mine eat pellets just like catfish. In fact one of the best baits that I have tried is corn. I think that mine after one and a half years are weighing about 1/2 pound less than yours. I think I told you I have caught them on almost every lure and every bait I put in the water. I have caught them on worms, shrimp, liver and corn. I have caught them on rattle traps rooster tails and super flukes. These fish will eat almost anything put in the water including tilapia! Tell this guy if he wants to save money on shad feed them fish pellets or if thats still too much they will also eat my free dog food. lol
