The future of Hickory Shad
 

The Hickory shad is a vital resource for Striped Bass, Bluefish, Osprey and other wildlife that  live, spawn or nest in and around the Chesapeake bay. A creel limit should be set on the Shad with a possible closed season during the spawn. If measures aren’t taken now, the wildlife of the bay will suffer.
