  • Here's a tutorial if you've ever wanted to give shading on the Columbia River a try. The first episode I did on shad, I didn't know what I was doing. But now... I kind of know what I am doing!

    Excellent information and demonstration to the novice shad fisherman. I appreciate it very much and one day soon I hope to hang into some shad. Thanks for posting.

    Cool. Now that I’m home and retired I’m going this spring after them can’t wait. Still love all. The videos they did keep me going the whole time I was working overseas. !!!!!

      June best month. Sometimes wind is a problem.
      On a shad dart I have caught, steelhead, jack salmon, up river brites, trout, cutthroat and even a 4 foot sturgeon.
      You never know what you may catch. My daughter paints the darts with fingernail paint.
      Dark green, light green, white color with a spot of red on the front always works best.

    I always make sure to have a small 5 1/2 foot rod usually strung with 8lb Stren. Lightweight gear with a nice Gitzit or crappie jig....doesn't get any better than that. Thanks for another great episode!

      @ShanePingStyle Před 3 lety

      does it very normal to fish Shad by a Boat in the Col. River? We use to go the Bonnevelle Dam where the Shad schools always pile up there

    Hey Blake, how do you prepare your Shad? I have always heard they are so boney that they aren't worth eating. Perhaps another video? Thanks, Bud! Tight lines!

  • @nunliski
    @nunliski Před 4 lety +1

    Hi Blake! Do you know if shad can be caught from the bank along the entire Lower Columbia, like around Vancouver or Longview? Does everyone congregate around the dam because that's the only place to reliably catch them from shore?

    • @WAFishQuest
      @WAFishQuest  Před 4 lety

      Hello! I've meant to find that out but never have. I know people fish from boats for them lower in the river by putting darts off the back. I don't see why it wouldn't work if you found some strong currents to hold them. Everyone just goes near the dam because they're all stacked up.

  • @sts.556
    @sts.556 Před 4 lety

    youtube catching skip jack at the dam , same fish we catch in tenn , we use them for bait , check out one of them videos how we catch them.

    wow its noisy there? sounds like my place.,.'weight' it out,,and the noise will go away :)
    okay? now.,,.I forget ..are Shad the ones you smoke? and,..,.,.I missed the "tight lines.,.,.line :)

    • @WAFishQuest
      @WAFishQuest  Před 4 lety

      yeah, it's right off the road and the waves can really crash. Yep! I usually smoke about half of em, and use the other half for bait. Russell sat this one out. The drive was just too long.

  • @sts.556

    What weight shad darts are you using?

    • @WAFishQuest
      @WAFishQuest  Před 3 lety +1

      Thanks for the question! 1/16. I've used 1/8 too. S'all good imo. My thought process is they hit tiny beads so might as well go small.
