Shad is here now at Bonneville dam, Washington state. But it's still very early, I landed 21 shad in 6 hours, from 9:30AM to 2:30PM. 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 ...

@@BashiWAFishing 谢谢，给你发信了

Been fishing shad sent 1989. I Mosty count to 20 fast after casting when the water is that high. If you go deep most of the big females are Nere the bottom. you can tell because it is harder to pull them up and they turn into the current faster. Have caught some at 25 inches. Fun video. Stay safe.

[@BashiWAFishing]

Thanks for sharing your experience, Mark. How heavy is your weight? Most fish I got are male last week, hopefully more female this week.

[@bradmclaughlin9023]

Good job Bashi! Can't wait to see more jetty fishing. You inspired me to go last year and I'm hoping to go again this year.

[@BashiWAFishing]

Thanks my friend, I will post jetty fishing videos in August most likely, and a lot :)

[@rickyyym]

I normally only fish once a year due to the 3 hour drive but I think I’ll try to fish them 3x this year

[@BashiWAFishing]

It's 7 to 8 hours round trip for me, I will do at least 3 times this year I think

[@dailygrinders89]

Dam that’s a long trip I fish weekly here on the east coast but I definitely have the West coast on the bucket list

[@BashiWAFishing]

@@dailygrinders89 Shad was imported into west coast from east coast I believe, you might be able to find a closer place at east coast.

[@derekdavila432]

❤Good job Bashi....them Shad already know who YOU are.👍🏾

[@BashiWAFishing]

Thanks brother, they tried to come in one week earlier, they did not expect I was there for them too, lol

Thanks for the video. Will bring family there this year!

[@BashiWAFishing]

It will be load of fun

Gorgeous weather!

Yes, not hot, not cold, and beautiful blue sky, cannot ask for more

[@CambodianFisherman]

I went there few years ago and caught only one. Was a very sad day of fishing. Drove from Bonney Lake to there was like 3.5 hours if I remember right. Like your videos, keep em coming.

[@BashiWAFishing]

I only landed 3 in my first trip too. Took me a few trips to figure out the trick, and then I cannot keep them off the hook

Well done. ❤

[@victortaus3035]

Hey Bashi - Great video. I hope you get and feel better soon. Was wondering though, how far apart do you have your sinker weight from the shad lure? Thank you and hope to see you out there this year....Cheers!

[@BashiWAFishing]

Thanks my friend, I usually use 4 to 5ft lead line

[@kevinsantos6744]

Thank you for posting this. I will shad fish for the first time this year. Do shad bite at earlier times at around 6am?

[@BashiWAFishing]

Usually it's better in the afternoon, morning is slow

[@kevinsantos6744]

@@BashiWAFishing Thank you!!!

[@DariaAmato-wz2xg]

Shad was fished to near extinction in the hudson river and Chesapeake, and they are only coming back to acceptable numbers. I dont think they can be fished for eating yet

[@BashiWAFishing]

If that happens at here, it would be good news for salmon

[@RNG-999]

holy cow I wasn't expecting such nice film making during the beginning. And what is that song?

[@BashiWAFishing]

Thanks friend. First part is ash of love, second part is "Prince Lan Lin charge into battle"

[@abrahamkim1078]

I have never caught a shad with any lure or bait. Only snagged. Didn’t think they bite hooks.

[@BashiWAFishing]

They don't really eat it, it's just aggressive attack
