Notes

17" on Pointer 78 chartuese shad. 13", 15", 13" on tube

All fish on "hard edges" where shallow rocky flat dropped immediately into 5' of water. Drop into ledge trench & corresponding calm area. Juan pointed out that in bright sunny conditions he's found fish relating to hard edges & not roaming.

Fish feeding in mid-river & bottom water column.

Seemed to be in pre-spawn location, shallower rocky areas with adjacent deeper water
