wanted to get out before the oakly and not fight the crowd?? decided to try to catch a few on the bank... launched at the state park 7:30pm and fished in craddoc creek till 1:30am. shad came up bout 9:30 and the bight was steady all night. we left them chewing. bunch a fish in the boat, nothing huge but more stripper than bass all cought on a thunder stick on the bank, 14 fish total for the night. andy
