BONNEVILLE DAM SHAD FISHING

In this video we are going to fish for shad in Bonneville Dam. Having fun with friends and experiencing new type of fishing. Using just shad dart jigs to catch em. Lost alot of weights and shad Dart before we finally figure how to fish for em efficiently and in the end catches alot of shad. Fun day of fishing for sure. Will do againin the near future.

Not a problem bro! It was fun being behind the scene. Too bad I didn't capture when you landed on them rocks! hahahaha

Yeah that be cool and funny. I like to see myself fall from time to time....lmao

Back when I lived in Philadelphia, I would buy filleted shad from the fish mongers at the Reading Terminal Market. The fish are crazy bony, but there is a pattern to the bone structure and the fish mongers knew how to separate the flesh from the bone. The flesh is delectable. Seems a waste to use them for crab bait.

[@NWLAKEHOPPER]

True that's why I only use a few for crab bait.. I saw a video on how to filled the shad and I must say I'm impressed. Definitely will try to fillet them one day.

I'm another Philippino. I am Lao. I am fishing in Bonneville Dam in the United States

[@pnwtroutslayer253]

Nice!!! Looks like fun!!! what did you use and how did you catch them?

[@NWLAKEHOPPER]

I was using a 7 ft 3 light action rod by TPO with 12 lb mono. Carolina rig with a 1 Oz slip weight or cannon ball weight. Arm length of litter with a shad dart bare hooks. Cast out count 2 seconds and start reeling and keep line tight. You'll know when you got fish on....lol.

@@NWLAKEHOPPER You said you might not be going back down there but if you do let me know if it's a Saturday that'll be fine too my wife would just come, but I would love to try! I got a taste of a very big bass this friday on Clear lake in Pierce County! While I was sitting with power bait to the bottom from trout I decide to practice bass fishing with a ned rig and 5 casts in I thought I was snagged but then it took off, tried getting my chest n mount on but the battery beeped dead and then the bass jumped and it was huge and spit my hook. I didn't have the proper hook for it so I used the biggest one I had which was still a little small! Going out again next week on my favorite lake Lake St. Clair and practice again. At least I can leave the trout alone since it's mainly stockers we are catching. i'm excited from that big ass bass! Got my heart pumping!!

[@NWLAKEHOPPER]

@pnwtroutslayer253 yeah bass fishing is what got me hooked on fishing. I know exactly the feeling of having a big fish on the end of the line. But I'm glad you have a good time bro. That's what fishing is all about. I will definitely let you know the next time I go to Bonneville Dam again. Beautiful scenery on the way there too. Great experiences for sure and of course bunch of fun. Fish On my brother
