Recently I was riding my bike around West Dallas and came across this family doing some cast net fishing. On every cast they would catch anywhere from 10-30 shad. Asking them what they did with the fish, they told me most of the fish were fried up for food and the rest were used as bait for larger fish.
I had the pleasure of going fishing with a few close friends the other day. Since I'm not much of an angler I brought my camera along to document the day.
