  • Fishing on the Potomac River you never know what you are going to get. Every year, we fish for Hickory Shad & American Shad on the Fly. However, driving those Shad are Spawning Striped Bass. On this episode, an American Shad takes me for a ride, and turns out to be a huge rockfish that ate a shad on my fly line. In the end, I manage to catch a Huge Striper on the Fly. It was a size 8 shad fly and I was using 0x Mirage Sink Tip. The Fish broke the net it was so big.

    Shad fishing is fun, it's just that they run during turkey season, priorities, you know. That was a brute of a striper for the Potomac! Great catch!

      Thanks so much for tuning in! I'm sure we've seen you out there before. The shad run is by far one of my most favorite fishing experiences!! Tight lines my friend! If you see us on the water feel free to stop by and chat!

    Having seen the end result on NCC-TU Shad Report, I cracked up at 4:15 when you started shaking out the net!
