Biill-- Smoked shad, huh? That's something I've had in the back of my mind since moving to the coast. I see the little buggers smoked and then canned. Mmmm. Talk about finger food in the boat.

So, we got the reports from your co-workers, how do YOU like it? Worth doing? If so, a couple day shad trip may be on the calendar for next year.

At the moment, I'm doing a load of chum in my efforts to clear the freezer for the deluge of fillets undoubtedly heading its way. This won't be around long enough to can... I'm running the smoker right outside my office, and the smell is driving me crazy.
