We finally got some GREAT shad weather! The past few weeks it has been atypical for this time of year. On Weds. I fished with an old friend (Lee Dickey) who had not fished with me for over 20 years. He rated the fishing excellent. By the time we headed back to the launch ramp he had landed 20 fish and lost as many and had many other grabs. That’s just for an evening trip.
The next evening the boys had no basketball practice so we headed for the river to do some shad harvesting. Shad make great bait for crabs and since we are going to Bandon in August for crabbing, we needed to add bait to our existing inventory.
They fished a gravel bar first but it was pretty slow. They landed 5 shad and a couple suckers. We then left for my favorite shad anchor spot. From the time we got there it was non stop action. If the boys did not get at least a bite on every cast it was every other cast. They had multiple double hook ups and they each got doubles (two fish at the same time).
We quit early so we could come home and see the warriors stay alive! It was a great 2.5 hour shad trip for the boys.
