Title: Shad gear
Post by: gaddy 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 ?

20ft jet diver
10 foot diver
Wigglewart thingy.
Dicknites
Shad dart

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