  • American Shad, In this video we'll be on the St. Johns River fishing for American Shad. We'll be trolling for the shad using shad darts that I made . After fishing for about 2 hours we ended up with 7 nice American Shad. When we got home I cleaned the shad then we backed them in the oven for about 7 hours, which is long enough to soften the bones so you can eat them.

      The shad we're catching are American Shad not stink shad (they do stink and I wouldn't try to eat one) they are a salt water shad that come all the way from Nova Scotia to the St Johns River, they used to be very popular, Google American Shad, they have a lot of history.

    Me and my late brother loved to fish for shad with ultralight rods and reels and usually 4lb test. We practice catch and release for the ones we don't need to keep. I like them when my friend Gary smokes them in his home made smoker.

    Hi young couple. I don’t like fish. but the way they look after Joyce cooks them makes me think that I could possibly eat one. they’re normally too squirmy wormy for me. I do enjoy crabs and shrimp because the crabs fight back and are mean little suckers. thanks so much for another great video my unmet friends.

    Hey Sam, a trick i use to take the scales off the fish when your inside the house is scale them in a bucket of water or fill your sink and do it there. Catches all the scales.

    I've never eat shad before. In fact I don't think I've ever caught one. I've tried other fish that were called trash fish. Like gar, and mud fish. If I ever catch one I'll definitely try it.

      It sounds like you don’t live on the coast. American Shad are a saltwater fish that mostly only enter rivers to spawn. They are not like freshwater shad. Freshwater shad are inedible bait fish.

      Just like Rob said, they're not gizzard shad that stink so bad, don't try to eat them. The American Shad spent most of their life in the Ocean. They travel all the way from around Nova Scotia to the St Johns River where we catch them. You even need a saltwater fishing license to keep any. George Washington was a commercial Shad fisherman.

    So if you start hacking on a bone , put it back in the oven?😮. But even though it's the American style Shad it's still a little skeptimisticism.

    • @TheOldCoupleOutdoors
      @TheOldCoupleOutdoors  Před 4 měsíci

      No what we do is check the fish every 2-3 hours to make sure there is water in the fish cooker after that we feel the bones to see if they're getting soft after they're soft usually about 8 hours we taste them. The water keeps the meat moist. We're cooking American Shad they used to be a very popular fish going back to George Washington who was a commercial Shad fisherman and they're fun to catch.
