Hey if anyone is going out fishing for gizzard shad in NJ please let me know I would like to give it a shot.
I thought you guys would like to talk more about gizzard shad. This is the time in the spring when they school up in the rivers to spawn when the American Shad do. Thanks for all the responses so far.
Hookset don't know about connecticut but if you are close to the Passaic River in NJ give Meltzers in garfield a call. I believe the guys name is steve and he will clue you in if they are running. Lots of fun to take the kids fishing for. In another few weeks when the carp spawn they will be there by the thousands as well. Lots of fun. Good luck.
