Shad is here now at Bonneville dam, Washington state. Those big female shad are in already, great fight and delicious roe, you don't want to miss it. Again, the most important trick for shad fishing is: Keep your line tight! Let the jig sink for about 8 to 10 seconds to the bottom before reeling in if the current is pretty strong. Reel in right away if there is no current. Leave the comments if you have questions. If you are a beginner, I recorded a when, where and how for shad fishing in my channel in 2021, check it out: • American shad fishing ...

I'll add this for people who haven't been there: the rocks are steeper and more treacherous than they appear on video. If you have leg/knee/stability/balance issues, I would advise you to find a different place to go, or boat fish. We also fished the John Day (WA side) and while not as hot of action, it was a bit easier to navigate for those less stable on their feet (skipping stones instead of shifting unstable boulders); also lost less gear there.

@BashiWAFishing 18 күн бұрын

That's a great suggestion, thanks Jason. Yes, those rocks could be very troublesome, especially when they are wet. I fell once on a wet one, and took me 2 weeks to recover.

We were there Sunday afternoon as well. I'm pretty sure I saw you, actually. We caught a few, but I think we were fishing over the top of them, not realizing they'd moved out and deeper. Switching to a heavier weight seemed to help. After the rainstorm, they seemed to move in, and the bite really picked up. Unfortunately, we had to leave shortly after.

@BashiWAFishing 18 күн бұрын

The dam released water after rainstorm, water raised about 2 foot, that's why shad moved closer to the bank. But the bite did not last long, about 30 minutes and then slowed down. Hope we can run into each other again over there brother.

Thanks Bashi ! One question: although the shad fish count is 50,000 but why they're not biting now ? The bite is gone, the crowd is gone too

@BashiWAFishing 2 күн бұрын

They are still there, but deep and far away from the bank. Use 1oz egg sink, cast far away and fishing deep.

Please comment on if using 3 way swivel setup will do better on avoiding snag than Carolina rig? It seems using slinky weight can reduce snag rate, but it's cost is higher. Did you ever try go fishing a bit further downstream , like the spots under the power line? Just curious if it's less snagging over there. Thank you.

@BashiWAFishing 17 күн бұрын

I personally like egg sink the most. I never tried further downstream, but saw some people fishing there. As long as you can find areas where strong current joins slow current, you will be able to find shad.

Most of the evening fishing is better than late morning and afternoon. Looks like the big ones are starting to come in. and they are mostly deeper. If they are still running on the 4th of July some will be even bigger. Planning to be there this year if still running. I have caught the larger one on the 4th. one year some were at 25inches long. I also count between 15 to 20 fast before starting to retrieve. With the run at that point will only be at one certain spot and depth and they stay down longer trying to real them in. have been fishing there sent 1989. hope it will be a longer run. Be safe

@BashiWAFishing 18 күн бұрын

Thanks Mark for sharing your experience. Now most of them are fat female, I only caught a few male. Last year, I went at July 4th, but they are almost gone. The year before last year, I landed a lot of huge female at July 4th. And I believe your observation is correct, most fish I pulled from deep water were big fatty female shad.

@teddyzhang4671 16 күн бұрын

I had more bites on 1/16 jigs. Is it because I usually stay a bit far from the dam?

@BashiWAFishing 16 күн бұрын

They prefer to bite on smaller jigs. But smaller jigs might lose more big shad. That's the trade-off, usually I use 1/16 when there are not many of them, use 1/8 when they are everywhere.
