Shad??

[robodad]

Should be catchable numbers running late third week of May. Fish the Shad rach and have fun. Best crab bait in the world also. Fathers day weekend is normally around the peek of the run. They like small gold colored things. Gold hooks make a big difference.

With my work schedule I might buy shad this year for fishing sea monsters. I'm going to only have sundays to fish and don't want to take to much time on the shad. but they are fun to catch!!!

Just what are you willing to pay for a mess of these little buggers ?? May be a way to off set a gas bill or two !!!

Fishcrazy are going to put in at bonnieville and run down or washougal and run up. I think someone said the deadline is marker 82. I have never run up but cohoho said it was;nt to far. I see lots of boats fishing at camas but don;t know if it;s for shad or sturgeon. I usually go down around the second week in june.

Put in at Camas and anchor off the Washougal or up river by the tugs.

I don't think you can legally sell them with out a license as they are a game fish.  Barter may be a better word to use.

I found this website with a wealth of knowledge and tips and videos for those that don't know much about some of this stuff, have a look at some of these videos and post up some comments here !!!

They are a food fish.
