Jeff's 2015 AR Shad Reports

[Jeff C.]

Ok, it's that time of year. Shad are showing up on the American slowly. The numbers have not been huge but there are shad being caught here and there. I've been hitting the lower river a couple of times a week for the last three weeks and lucked out last Saturday morning. Got 12 in a couple of hours mostly small males but some hens up to 3-4 lbs. Went back to the same spot in the afternoon and they were gone. It's still early in the run so I hope more show up on the A. The bump in flows should help. Stay tuned!

Hey Jeff,
We surf fish twice a week or so @ the Farms-Blacks Beach; maybe one of your old haunts. Double overheads
predicted for Sunday. Big, but mushy today.
Best,
Larry s

Sounds like lots of shad up at Verona recently...

Larry S, I lived in OB and surfed mostly at Sunset Cliffs and occasionally Mission Beach Jetty, Big Rock and Swamis (when it was huge).

I will be eyeballing this thread for sure.
Shad are a mega blast and I have yet to put in any time for them.
Maybe I will bump into you one day Jeff
