I ran into John Veil up along the Susky today (an official John Veil sighting). We were both shore fishing with spinning rods and dart tandems.
The fishing was pretty slow. He reported a few, and in 2 hours I caught three.
Caught one on my first cast and thought that I finally hit it right. No such luck.
The water temperature was pretty low, it was uncomfortable standing ankle deep. Cold toes.
I think that the river needs about 10 degrees higher to make the fishing better. The water was fairly clear with about 18" of visibility, today.
It didn't help that the river level dropped 6 inches in the two hours I was there. The shad seldom bite on a falling river.
