- Going out Mid-day to fish is always going to be a difficult task for any type of fishing but I'm up for the challenge. I'm going to compare this with my backyard river is Portland. Please come and join me in this late season excursion. The question is, Is it worth the one hour drive to Bonneville? or is my backyard river just as productive?

Nice job!!!
Thank you for the comment. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Good to see you pal🎣💙💪
When the count is going down, late season and fishing mid day. That's a bad combo. ✌🤣
WOW. Nobody is there! I wish I had made it out to Bonneville this year.
Just a little over a week ago was my last trek to the Back Yard river and I got those 5 shad in a little over an hour. The first jig I tried wasn't producing (white shad dart with red head) so I switched to the Chartreuse Shad Dart with dark green head and BOOM... 3 shad back to back.
I lost three after that so close to the river bank but oh well, it was fun1 The last two I caught with a Chartreuse dart with red head. I think I could have caught more but my time was up.
On an earlier trip to the back yard river I had success with the 1/32 jig heads (with brass hooks) I picked up at BiMart and have a powder coating setup so I coated a handful of hot pink and chartreuse jig heads. I put a very tiny (like 1/2") swim tail grub on those and the shad love them. The grubs are either hot pink or chartreuse and I pair them up with the opposite color jig head.
I didn't have the right size hooks to try your awesome setup from earlier in the season. I'll try next year.
Have you tried the red circle hook with a chartreuse bead tied above the hook? I saw that in a Washington Dept of Fish & Game post somewhere and thought I should try that next year too.
We lucked into a free shellfish and fishing license for my adult son through his disability caseworker and my next goal is to find a creative way to introduce him to crabbing! That will solve my inability to get out to the coast for sure!
Great video as always, Hale'!
You did well in the backyard. Way to go RB. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Great content buddy, I see another not hooked in the mouth! 😂
LOL...you taught me how to do that. That's art and technique especially on the back. 😂 When I saw you last...I told you it was slow and it was like a Ghost town out there. Unlike when it is peak season shoulder to shoulder. I even still managed to lose a fish with two guys next to me. Still fun without the crowd. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
good job. do you have link to purchase shad Jig? thanks
It's really late in the season to go Bonneville but you can go Bi-Mart, Sportsmans Warehouse, Cabela's, Fisherman's Marine and WalMart.
