Toledo Bend

[whunter29]

Well fellas I just spent the last two days striking out while fishing Toledo Bend. I fished south around Toldeo Bend state park and I fished deep and shallow with the following baits, pearl/blk back bandit, rattletrap, jig, watermellon red fluke, sinko, watermellon red trick worm, and a carolina rig with a watermellon red lizzard. The water temp. is in the low 50's and I believe that is the problem along with a large amount of shad dying and floating to the surface.

Why are the Shad Dying?
