Are the shad still there?

I had a similar experience but it was with a lip less crankbait. It was last year and I was fishing from shore. I saw a bunch of grebes follow a school of shad into the cove I was fishing. So I switched to the crankbait and started casting around. Third cast and wham, I thought I hooked a average size Striper too. Reel the sucker in, and low and behold it's a huge gizzard shad with my crankbait in its mouth. Laugh my arse off. I attached a pic of it below for your viewing pleasure.
