Shad fishing is like Crack ! You did good for the first time. Been shad fishing for 40 years. You need to jig that dart. They hit it as it falls. Put a 1/4 to 3/8 barrel weight on the line, tie on a swivel, 18 inch leader, then a dart or spoon. When using a spoon, bend it a little where the hook meets the spoon. This makes it wabble back and forth. Just cast out and reel in slowly. Shad fishing will get frustrating. You need to move from spot to spot depending on the river level. Good luck !
My man, you got to be cateful, rule is you cant fish within 100 feet of that fishway. The painted rock is 100 feet (used to be yellow). Gavin was way too close, You may have been as well. No need to get in trouble, might want to consider pulling this video before fish and boat sees.
