Shad Fishing and Shad Fishing Tips

[@thenomad4155]

I gotta try this type of fishing

[@calloftheoutdoors8941]

YOu should, it can be really fun.

[@portalmasterry6765]

It's a lot of fun since you are using very light tackle and the chance of fighting a 4-5lbs fish on it

[@calloftheoutdoors8941]

@@portalmasterry6765 Definitely! And honestly, a 2lb line can easily bring in up to a 5lb fish with the drag on the reel set up correctly.

How many fish can each person keep

[@calloftheoutdoors8941]

You can keep 25 shad a day.

[@djswang5736]

Can you explain your setup? Like what size float and bait.

[@calloftheoutdoors8941]

i use 4 lb line main line tied to either a fly or a 1/16 oz jighead with a 1 inch curly tail. About 6 ft above the jighead, I attached a weighted 2.5 inch bobber.

Looks like we’ll be seeing each other 😆

[@calloftheoutdoors8941]

I've been out there a few days, when you going out there?

[@DanielGonzalez-bn3yw]

Brooo I’ve been trying to catch a shad for the longest time and nothing yet 😕

[@calloftheoutdoors8941]

Give it a week and go to the american river, you'll be catching more shad than you think was possible. Good luck.

Where is Hotspot and setup

[@calloftheoutdoors8941]

Hotspot is all over the American River. Setup can be found in my response to @djswang5736 below. Good luck out there.

[@alvinlow3959]

Every where is hot

[@calloftheoutdoors8941]

Seems like it lol. But action during this day was okay, it should get much better in a few weeks.

[@KING-MUFFASA]

How long leader you use?

[@calloftheoutdoors8941]

The leader has to be under 6ft so my leader was just a tad bit under 6ft long.

[@Saucyfingers1]

[@calloftheoutdoors8941]

This is over there at the american river near hazel.
