Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Creating the food chain Threadfin shad or Gizzard shad?

I did throw the cast net in and around the cove in front of the lake house.
And I did catch around 20 of the shad. Turned out that about 2/3rds of the shad were gizzards. And it was fairly simple to tell the difference in the two species. By the time I got it done I was soaking wet from sweat. It was a really hot evening and i am not seeing the shad in the morning hrs. I am pretty sure the TFS were spawning since all the activity was done during the full moon and I have noticed I am seeing fewer schools since the moon phase is changing. I did not get any transferred to the pond. I was not set up for a transfer. Still working on how to get that done because the lake is low and I have to travel about 5 miles to get the boat in and out, because our community ramp is too shallow rite now. For it all to work out, I could use a second helper.
