Location: Menasha, WI | This report from the 2014 Trawler Assessment provides more info about game fish and forage species in addition to shad. 2014 was a poor year for all species. http://media.wix.com/ugd/d493f0_7e85112c19e946d28a3cd3c3839a3f08.pdf I agree with your prediction. The bite is going to be on fire until mid-June until this year's YOY forage become eye food. Hopefully, the harvest won't hurt the system.

Location: Orland Park, IL | I second the lack of forage notion, especially shad. That varies from year to year I imagine. Shep can still catch eyes. Here are a couple of nice ones from Poygan.
