The first hickory shad I ever caught were on live minnows in Indian River Inlet in DE. They were going nuts in the tidal rip, and when I could get a minnow out far enough it would immediately get eaten by a 15-16" hickory shad.
I also caught a small one on a black clouser fishing under dock lights in Chincoteague. IDK if the whole "they don't eat" only applies to the spawning run or what. I'll still use shad darts but food for thought...
As for the crashing fish i tend to agree with the emerging caddis theory, the hatches near chain bridge can be decent. Catfish go nuts for the white fly hatch so I don't see why they would ignore caddis. Of course, they could also be eating chubs or other baitfish that are eating the caddis.
