Caught some decent sized shad at Baldwin lake.. then again it is a power plant lake and stays warm year round.

You should be able to get shad in the hot water ditch at Springfield. If they aren't in the ditch try the rip rap in the coves.

I am no help with Lake Springfield... but I would indeed hit near the hot water discharge. I was probably about 50 yards away from the discharge and caught some nice size shad in a cove. They obviously did not like sitting too close to it but definetely enjoyed the warmer water. Hope I helped a smidgeon.

I've been to Lake Springfield 3 times this year, and caught shad every time. I can usually always get some in the hot ditch. Last time out, caught some near Jester's Park, near the Marina.
