In 1972 shad fisherman Ron Ingolds gave us free shad for Clearwater's first shad festival. Ingolds lives in Edgewater, New Jersey, just south of the George Washington Bridge, and carries on his father's fishing tradition. He introduced me to the wonders of setting the nets at slack tide before flood and taking them in at slack tide before ebb, six hours later. He and a few helpers live on the waterfront for a month, only snatching a few hours sleep at a time. I wrote these words for him and his helpers, using an old German melody.
