In this episode we are bank fishing the American River for shad from the Sun Rise bridge area and Harrington Park. We cover the basics of float fishing from the what and what not to do. If you live in the greater Sacramento CA area this is a great summer time fish to target! Have fun fishing and enjoy!
Love your respect for nature... It's what separates the HUNTERS and the FISHERMEN from the TAKERS
I watch this every year before Shad season. Best video out there. I was lucky to meet Matt several times while Shad fishing!
same
Just moved to Sacramento a year ago, this was perfect information for a novice fisherman looking to learn new technique for new waters! Much appreciated!
Glad to help!
Thanks so much first time shad fishing and hooked 1 because of your tips
I caught some Shad at that same spot almost 30 years ago. Was just a kid and my Dad wandered off to get something from the car and I hooked one of those suckers. Thing fought like a 8lb Steelhead even though it might have been 8 inches long at most. Good times. That and the old Nimbus salmon runs with the water overrunning the parking lot and more salmon than pavement.
This is a great video. It'll help people from all over the state come and fish for shad. Yeah, this sort of video is exactly what we need to ensure people know just where to fish and how to do it. I bet hundreds if not thousands of fishermen will come to fish there. This video is a great idea.
Pleasure meeting you on the American today!
Slip bobber always always gets the job done. No other method mimics such a natural presentation 👍
Thank you Nick! I have been fishing sunrise rather unsuccessfully and now I see why! I have been a fan for a long time and I have to say this video has helped me more than any other. Keep up the great work and tight lines!
It showed me a new spot to fish for them! Lol
Bobber fishing for shad on the AR is enormous fun. I am lucky enough to live right there in Fair Oaks. When that bobber suddenly gets sucked underwater - thunk - and then you get a glimpse of those silver shimmering fish. My favorite thing to fish for. Great fun with a fly rod, too. Awesome video guys!
super video of pretty fish 🐟🐟👍
Best fishing video Sir
👍
Greatest fishing show you CZcams!
awesome vid guys!
Shad are sooo fun....I'm glad to see them back in good numbers again!
Awesome video!!
This looks like fun. I like to catch skipjack herring over this way which seems similar. Good video!
This video is very entertaining thank you
Good to see you out with my boy Matt! We slayed them at sunrise a few days before you shot this episode
Nice video cast my friend.. I love the river
thanks for another great video brother. tried once this year on Yuba/Feather Rivers and got skunked. maybe next year, tight lines bro.
Shad fishing here in CT is usually between April to June. The American shad come into our river systems to spawn and get away from the stripers. I just started to fish for Shad this year. My first Shad went 3 lbs 2 oz. My PB was just over 4 lbs. there's a lot of bigger shads here in the northeast. The method I used to catch them was with a willow leaf. You rig it on a sorta of a Carolina rig. Half oz weight. And then a big leader, followed by the willow leaf. You cast, let it sink and reel it in. Man, they fight so amazing! Especially the rows, female Shad. We call them the poor mans Tarpon because of all the acrobatics they do. I fell in love with Shad fishing this year. Can't wait for the run next season.
Bout that time of year! Can’t wait to get out there
Thats really funny i go to that part of the river all the time
This video is very entertaining
Very cool
Good video
Thank you👍🏻
im gonna use those for stripes!!!
Ya when my Lady is in her back she calms right down also how wierd 😂
Cool thanks
there good catfish bait
True I'm going fishing tonight so I will upload a video on that
Is that a barbless hook section ?
InformativeFisherman, I'm curious does it matter about brands of hook using for fishing?
I’ve stood on that bridge and seen huge stripers swimming behind schools of shad eating them.
Nice video! Very informative! Haha all about the name right?!
Lol, you got it bro!
I was out today. My buddy mich #22 never pulls in less that 22 inchs or 22 fish. Away find him fishing the early westerly winds!
fished those places plus an extra area yesterday. didn't get anything, and sunrise was over running with floaters and swimmers - Saturday... what'd I expect ?
any chance on fishing with you in the future ?
you sound like your fishing for steelhead. !!! thats a good area as well
Not light but one hell of a rod. Pulled in a 5-6ft sturgeon no problem paired with an 8500 reel. Tip is fast enough to see even the small bites.
He's gonna accidentally catch a SPRING BREAKER...lol. woohoo
hey Nick what rod was the guy you were fishing with(Matt?) using?
nice
Hey Nick shuld I get the Dodyns Fury or the Powell Inferno rod?
Congratulations on 80 K !!
Lol you got your “barbless pinch downs” because that is the law in the river right there. It was cool to make it seem like you are doing it just to be nice but the viewers should be told it’s a barbless section only in case they do go fish there.
Very nice video. Where is the place along American River? Tried Sacramento before, and plan to fish in American River this summer.
looks like fair oaks of Pennsylvania ave
13:15 largemouth, or Pike bait👍
The tug is my drug
notification squad!
What action rod you use for shad?
Can you show me how you did your setup
Do these shad live in Florida?
Looks like. Hickory shad at 1:12
crush the barb of the hook or use barbless hooks on the american river.. year around..its the law,less damage to the fish and easier to release them..you are not tearing them apart trying to release them
very nice video .thanks guys
but I like your steelhead float method
Bass snacks
That first Shad was perfect striper bait size! You guys are horsing those fish in. I always play with mine more. It’s fun on a long flexible rod!
Where can I get these floaters?
Is this legal as a drop shot in the river?
thank you for the fishing spote .
Pyshna Anna you can't find fish you find fisherman dumbass
When is shad season in American river?
hey I grew up just a bike ride from the i street bridge in old Sacramento and near American River joins the Sacramento river
Man I just keep getting snagged with the splitshot method. Any tips? Same river haha
to much weight..just enough to get the fly/lure out not much more..shad dont sit on the bottom... mid water is where they hang out
Three years later catching them in the same spot
What the part of American river?
where is that spot I live in Sacramento
Doesn't it look like it could be the footbridge at Sunrise?
+RCninja Flyer it is
where is the American river located at?
si mac jaan In America... lol just being a smart ass sorry
It runs through Folsom, rancho cordova and Sacramento. These guys are in rancho.
It merges with the Sacramento river in Sacramento .
Sacramento ca
Can anybody recommend a good fish finder for Kayak?
Am on a $400 budget. Was looking at the Lowrance Hook 5. But Helix 5 is $120 less, and Helix 5 KVD is $20 more. But has side imaging, plus been looking at other brands as well. Really wanna get the best bang for my buck here. So any help is much appreciated.
check out deeper fish finder it's also portable
when ever I catch american shad I cut them up and chum them for stripers. and when I catch a female shad during spawn I rack the scales off of them and the male shad bunch up and it makes them really aggressive. perfect for stripers. great video bro.
are there stripers on the American right now
+jon garrigus your not really gonna find a lot of schools of stripers but usually some big ones go up when the shad start spawning. and if you find a group of shad look in the back of them and most of the time there's. a big striper laying under a rock waiting for something to swim by. my biggest on the american this year has been a good 15lbs. broke one off that was a good 20 probably. big fish are always in the river you just have to find them.

+Wyatt Pultz right on thanks do you know where harrington park is
Never heard of it bro sorry. I probably have but I can't remember.
which I rod were u using
The drop shot model
Sorry about that you are right
Don't know where you guys are but in mass I get them from about 2 to 4 pound 8 on the hi side. those seem small.
We went to Columbia River fishing for Shad recently and catch a lot ! Here is the video and cooking recipe:
czcams.com/video/Z-olwHdr9tY/video.html
Are those good eating?
awesome vid btw
+John Poc you have to pickle those shad cause they have to many bones
+Wyatt Pultz if you fillet them and pick the bones out they taste wonder full smoked
Not really
+Robert Whittington how do you know have you smoked shad before.
grubs.interesting
Why Harrington comon😡
Only if that is the longest it get in the thumbnail , & if Scientist's will mess with there DNA replacing Plakat or Short Fin Betta fish eauty was in the Shad's getting rid of the aggression .Then can have Chocolate color with Plakat tail and fin's as in short enough to where they might nit tare their tail , and fin's off piece by piece maybe .
If 3 and 8 pounds Shad get's then how long do they grow out to be when adult ? .
These are american skipjack not shad they are plankton eaters
