I was in All Tackle Weds night. They had in stock - pearl / blue back and pearl / black back in the 12 inch size. Saw 2-3 bins empty - I'll assume they carry other colors as well.

I used to run 12 inchers but never saw any real difference in catching. I did lose a lot of tails after about 5-6 hours of trolling. The thin plastic just wears through.

Thanks, last time I was in there they didn't have any big shads.

Chessie 27 - I hope you have some big shads for what you bought last Saturday :eek:

Are you nuts, they're too pretty to put in the water!! :D. I was thinking about getting some 12" shad for them to try out. Probably headed past All-tackle tomorrow if you want me to pick you up something?? Just PM me.

We had a good time at the Chestertown flea market Saturday. Since I sold everything I brought to my table, it was only a net loss of about $180!! I guess the "sucker" tattoo still shines brightly on my forehead?? I did walk out with some really cool stuff though.

Unfortunately I think everyone was either perch fishing or on Easter vacation, our attendance was about 1/3 of what it was last year. I'm glad you had a good time, there were several great vendors there and people were walking out with bags of stuff. The 70 degree days next week should help the fishing out I hope!
