What do you guys look for? Ive stumbled across them many times over the years but for no rhyme or reason. Never been able to find a pattern of where they spawn at, is it just one of those things that you get lucky and stop at the right spot??

Some of the best areas are rip rap and dock walls. Any emergent vegetation is also good.
Shad like to spawn around hard cover or structure, so docks, seawalls, rocks, etc...
What kind of water temp are you looking for? Seems to occur right around the bass spawn (58-62ish)... Will this occur at any other times or water temps? Thanks

On kerr lake i believe when that water hits 70 you have a good shad spawn going on.Originally Posted by Buggs247
The shad spawn usually finds me. On my crankbait around rock and seawalls at the end of April-May
When the shad are spawning you will see them following your bait. Usually occurs right around when the bass spawn. It can be great fishing if you find the right spot and it is usually an early bite.
Thanks for the info gentlemen
