Shad spawn

Has anyone noticed if the shad spawn has started yet? I haven't been able to get out at sunup lately and was wondering if anyone has seen em rolling yet

They had been doing it for several weeks but it slowed down with the cold front from what I have heard.

I fished a tournament through my work a couple weeks ago out of HBSP. We ran towards the lower end at firstlight and set up next to a dock. The shad started coming up all around us; under the boat around the dock, EVERYWHERE. I have never seen anything like it. That's the good news; the bad news is we only caught one keeper while it was going on, which was for about 30 minutes. I have always heard that if you get in on a shad spawn you're in; but not for us that morning.... pretty cool event none the less....
