What is the best way to catch shad in a lake to use for fishing? Is it legal to use a casting net?

You cannot use cast nets.
4.05. Bait Fish Capture Methods.
(a) Approved bait fish may be taken only by
hand, with a dip net, or with traps not over three
feet in greatest dimension. Such bait fish may
not be purchased, bartered, sold, transferred
or traded; or transported alive from the location
where taken. Any other species taken shall be
returned to the water immediately. Traps need
not be closely attended. Dip net use: A dip net
must be hand held, and the motion of a dip
net shall be caused only by the physical effort
of the operator. A dip net may not be moved
through the water by any mechanical force or
motorized device.
