Shad gear
« on: June 12, 2017, 03:55:39 PM »
So, with the other threads about Shad fishing, I am wondering what everyone uses, gear, lures etc.... Thinking about giving it a try around Ice Harbor Dam when they get here. Never fished them before. I don't do crowd fishing so the cluster f below the dam that I hear about is out of the question. I'll fish above.
Whats your lure, gear set up ?

Just go to mcnary, it's an easy crowd friendly family fun fishery and you'll catch 20 times the amount down there over ice harbor.
20ft jet diver
10 foot diver
Wigglewart thingy.
Dicknites
Shad dart

Pick and choose between those till you find one that works.

Dicknites are always my go to shad lure.  I've even caught Chinook and steelhead on them while shad fishing.  Chrome/chartreuse or chrome/red
