How to Catch Shad from Shore | 5 Step Guide

How to catch shad from shore! Welcome to my first tutorial. I have been meaning to do more tutorials for my YouTube channel so I figured I’d start here. Catching shad from shore can be tricky, so you need to know the most important things about doing it. Shad do not feed when moving upriver so you are looking for a reaction bite. There is a wide variety of lures you can try for shad, but the best shad lures tend to be something small and flashy. Catching shad from shore can have you thinking you are in the wrong spot if you are not adapting correctly. Shad fishing takes a method to find where the fish are, what they’re biting, and how to catch them over and over. There are many times you can find yourself out fishing most if not all people on the bank if you are doing your homework on the shad. Finding them in the water column is the most important step, but I believe they are all equally important.
