All bout shad an then some. Some of these articles are bout bass and crappy but the bait is the same.

004: Juvenile feed visually on individual zooplankton, adults mainly filter-feeders *020*
007: Spawn early April through May *001*. In IL and OH spawn May-June *013,021*. In AR, spawn early April- mid-June *011*. In NM, spawn early May - late June, a 2nd spawn may occur in mid-summer *027*
008: Eggs and milt are released by mixed schools of males and females *001*. In NM, 1 female is attended by several males *027*
012: Spawn in shallow water of protected bays and inlets *01*. In IL, apparently move into recently innundated habitat to spawn if it's available *13*. In OH, move up tributary streams to spawn over 5 shallow rocky riffles, also spawn in shallow areas along shore of lake *21*. In NM, spawn mostly in shallow water, but also were seen spawning at surface where water was 50' deep *27*
017: Incubation approximately 4 days *001*
022: Mature at 2 or 3 years *01*. In MS, matured at approximately 18 cm total length *35*.
030: In OH, feed heavily at mid-day *21*. In another OH study, began feeding in early morning, increased till 1400-1600 hours, then declined *25*. In AR, greater numbers taken at night than during day *11*
031: In Lake Wappapello, daily larval survival rate for most abundant spawning group was 88%. A rapid, intense period of decline was observed over a 3-week period after the greatest catch per unit effort was observed. Rate of decline was 11% daily. *30*. In NM, males exhibited post-spawning mortality reduced longevity *27*. In IL, aggregated and died in large numbers (5619/acre) in backwaters during winter *36*. Moratlity rate of age-0 individuals is 99% *048*.
034: Insufficient amount of food (zooplankton) may have contributed to rapid decline in larval shad abundance in Lake Wappapello. *30*. An ohio study found that seasonal abundance and timing of peak densities of zooplankton may play critical role in survival of young *21*. A MS study found that a shortage of suitably sized (small) zooplankton may be a key factor limiting survival of shad larvae *35*.
035: Parasites include protozoa, trematodes, cestodes, nematodes *23*, crustaceans, acanthocephalans *23,27*, and saprolegnia parasitica (a fungus) *27*. Important in the diet of largemouth bass *048*.
038: In MO streams, reach 5.1" by end of 1st year, 11" by 3 years of age *14*. In IL, age I fish 8.4-10.8", age II 9.4-" 13.2", age III 11.6-14.8", age IV 14.5-15.7" *26*
039: Adults commonly 9-14" and 1 pound or less, maximum length and weight reported - 20.5" and 3 pounds, 7 oz. *01*. In Lake Wappapello, shad age 1+ made up the largest portion of the population *30*.
099: Young begin to feed approximately 5 days after hatching *01*. Usual life span 4-6 years, but may live 10 years *01*. In AR, reached peak in seasonal abundance 4-8 weeks after spawning began *11*. In MS, mature adults averaged 155 fish/ha. Population was composed mainly of larger fish, averaging 268 mm (range 181-365 mm) total length and 169 grams (51-501 g). Can increase phytoplankton, nutrient levels, and suspended solids *049*.
That orta keep ya all busy for awhile.
I just got interested after cuttin a few bigguns up and findin eggs in em. And thought, " I dunno much bout my favorite bait".
