There have been hickory shad in the cape fear water shed for two weeks nowrivers are still garbage but has anyone heard if they in yet?
Help my out a little. I’ve done very little Shad fishing but hope to give it a good go this year. The go to seems to be a Shad dart with a spoon trailer. Other than that, wouldn’t anything small like crappie jigs, beatle spins and stuff like that do a good job?

Like Shaggy said, any tandem rig with darters, spoons and/or 1-3" grubs will do the trick. I always did a constant, slowish, retrieve. But last year I saw other guys drifting there rigs and were catching them while I wasn't.
Best success I've had are the pink jig heads with the sparkly chartreuse 1" grub on a tandem rig. Walmart has them. Think its the 1/16oz.
My buddy and I caught 20 between the two of us Friday and yesterday then I caught 8 more today. All In the same spot on the Tar. Pink and white is all we’ve used. Friday was by far the best day. Took me 4 hrs to catch 8 today with a few hook up that got away. Keeping those co workers happy that’s for sure! View attachment 41094
Falkland today made 5 cats and lost 4 rigs. Ugh
Those stump bass are hard to reel in
