Any one else seeing better numbers of Shad? I sure hope they are Shad and not carp.

Tons of them in the backs of the bays right now, all kinds of bass busting them too. I caught a bunch of bass Friday in those bait balls, but all were 12" to 14" dinks though. You toss a pointer 78 into those shad balls and it's pretty much a guaranteed bite. I'm sure if you cover enough water you might find a school of bass busting that are bigger in size but I sure couldn't find them.
Catching 12-14”ers is good to hear none the less
Lots of shad in the lakes best l have seen in the last couple of years
Where are most of the shad located? Main lake or in the bays/creeks?
It's been a few days since I've been out there, but last time out the biggest concentrations were in the far far back of the bay like in 3 ft or less. Many shad balls were moving in and out too though, I followed one from the back of the bay to a secondary point and then back to the back again, I was able to pick off several of the bass busting but they were all about 12" to 14" size bass. I'm sure it's changed some since the weather has been unsettled this week.
My wife and was there last week and we saw the most shad in the Little river area on Barkley. They were moving along the creek channel banks and some were all the way back on the flats.

Going to fish next week and was wondering if you all are still seeing large bait schools on Kentucky Lake?
Thanks
Thanks Slim. Yes looking at the results from the Renegade Tourney, the fishing is pretty slow.
