How to Find and Catch Gizzard Shad

Gizzard shad is one of the most abundant bait fish across the United States. They can be found from Washington to Florida. Gizzard shad are plankton feeders, with phyto and zoo plankton being their main food source. This means that you have to use a cast net to effectively catch them. In this video, I show the basics and a step by step guide to locating/catching gizzard shad across the United States. These make great bait for stripers, catfish, bass, and even trout!
