How to Fish Shad at Sacramento River from the Bank 

Tie a loop knot for your dropper weight section,so you can change size without tying all the time. Great video keep them coming.

Thanks. I just moved to Cali recently from the Midwest and that second rig is what a lot of people told me to use, we were just bottom bouncing them from a bridge on the American river like you would for cats or walleye

explained in great detail. By the movement of the hands, it is immediately clear that we have an experienced coach in front of us.

Joe already an expert at Shad fishing!

Nice vid, Joe! You slayed them! Never seen that rig before! Thank you

Thanks for the help and tips. I’m gunna test my luck tomorrow

Heck yeah! Awesome tutorial bro!

Thanks for sharing buddy

Thank you! It works!!!

Nice shad. I use to go to that spot. But now i go to american river, bobber go down all day!

Great informative video. I’m surprised their weren’t Allota boats out.

Nice tutorial

Thanks!

Beads in between the egg sinker and swivel helps with the knotting.

Very inexperienced so really appreciate the info

Nice catch, do you have a American river shad fishing information, let me know please.

Hey Joe, what’s the difference between the 1 piece or 2 piece elixir performance wise ? Or are they same and its just preference ?

Hey, boss! Been lovin' your videos! I know you've uploaded this hella time ago but in case you can still see this, what time of year was this? Also, do you think these shad are really there all year or did you catch em' during migration? I live in the Bay Area but I come from tropical Mexico where fishing is different. I've only recently begun getting into fishing really hard here. I've been having hella fun but still getting the hang of it and the species! Back home we don't have these shad. We have another type called Pacific Gizzard Shad which is a ton smaller and so much harder to catch without a cast-net since those are filter-feeders of plant matter. Thanks, man!

will the 3 way rigging has more tangling than carolina rig

Hey nice video what size pole do you use

Nice video Joe. where is this location brother?

Off topic, but when you use the Senko for trout, you mentioned cutting it in half. Does that mean you make use of both ends, the skinny and fat side?

Rod and reel set up? Also please share location.

on such a tackle, only with a larger bait, you can catch a big bass

which phenix rod you use, very light and powerful Rod and reel set up? Also please share location.

Are they good eating and what bait is good
