I have been holding shad for a couple of years now and do admit it took some time before I felt confident that I knew exactly what I was doing. They require delicate care but if done correctly can last for a while as I have some in my tank right now that I have had for almost seven weeks. The key with shad is to minimize the stress that is put on them in catching and transporting and then again in the holding situation. Water temperature changes, ammonia levels, poor oxygen diffusion, etc. are all big factors that can cause major stress to the shad. When I started with this live bait, I went back to the basics and researched everything that I could find about gizzard shad to better understand them and then experimented with different chemicals, salts, filters and probably every other thing possible until I worked all of the quirks out. It is definitely a lot of work but with the proper methods you can keep bait over a period of time so that you can get in several fishing trips before you have to go catch it again.
