We were there last Sunday 6/09/2024 on the WA side, so windy and waves. Me and brother got total 35 shads. 7 hours round trip. 😢

Very nice!! Yeah we did 6 hrs round trip. Definitely not complaining and will do it again soon. So much fun!!!

Back when I lived in Philadelphia, I would buy filleted shad from the fish mongers at the Reading Terminal Market. The fish are crazy bony, but there is a pattern to the bone structure and the fish mongers knew how to separate the flesh from the bone. The flesh is delectable. Seems a waste to use them for crab bait.

True that's why I only use a few for crab bait.. I saw a video on how to filled the shad and I must say I'm impressed. Definitely will try to fillet them one day.

Not a problem bro! It was fun being behind the scene. Too bad I didn't capture when you landed on them rocks! hahahaha

I was using a 7 ft 3 light action rod by TPO with 12 lb mono. Carolina rig with a 1 Oz slip weight or cannon ball weight. Arm length of litter with a shad dart bare hooks. Cast out count 2 seconds and start reeling and keep line tight. You'll know when you got fish on....lol.

@@NWLAKEHOPPER You said you might not be going back down there but if you do let me know if it's a Saturday that'll be fine too my wife would just come, but I would love to try! I got a taste of a very big bass this friday on Clear lake in Pierce County! While I was sitting with power bait to the bottom from trout I decide to practice bass fishing with a ned rig and 5 casts in I thought I was snagged but then it took off, tried getting my chest n mount on but the battery beeped dead and then the bass jumped and it was huge and spit my hook. I didn't have the proper hook for it so I used the biggest one I had which was still a little small! Going out again next week on my favorite lake Lake St. Clair and practice again. At least I can leave the trout alone since it's mainly stockers we are catching. i'm excited from that big ass bass! Got my heart pumping!!

@pnwtroutslayer253 yeah bass fishing is what got me hooked on fishing. I know exactly the feeling of having a big fish on the end of the line. But I'm glad you have a good time bro. That's what fishing is all about. I will definitely let you know the next time I go to Bonneville Dam again. Beautiful scenery on the way there too. Great experiences for sure and of course bunch of fun. Fish On my brother
