81cm Shad (Tailor, Blue-Fish) Blue Lagoon Durban South Africa May 2024

A nice 81cm (About 7kg) Shad taken off Blue Lagoon in Durban on a PASSION BAITS BIG STICKY XL in May 2024. It smashed the lure on the surface, and gave a massive run of about 50 meters before getting airborne. At first I thought it was a Garrick, was pleasantly surprised to see a shad.

Really nice to see such a mature and healthy shad. If people stop bagging undersize shad, catching fish of this size would become a usual occurrence.

Richard, I need to pick your brain again. If you had one choice which rod would you choose? The loomis archipelago, the okuma matrix or the okuma recon 11ft rod?

[@user-zs5ws7gq8p]

What fishing rod should you use to catch Shad at the Blue Lagoon?

[@mohamedshahidahmed8486]

Howsit bro are you using the loomis archipelago 11ft extra heavy rod?

[@thehumblefisherman73]

Hey bud, yes I am. I have that paired with the Penn Conflict 2 CFT Carbon Fibre 5000.
