Took the kids to have some fun and fishing. My fiance's son caught his first fish today. A nice little bluegill he's having for dinner tonight. I would post a pic but it's not currently letting me.

There was actually only one biting, i saw some much bigger fish splashing around out further from the bank/weeds but couldnt entice them to bite to see what kind they were (just saw tails here and there).
He first casted that bluegill too. I can't wait to take him trout fishing this summer, he'll really get a kick out of fish that can put up something of a fight.

Um no do NOT take him shad fishing right now! Unless you can catch a fish from a fishless river (in terms of shad).

Ahaha but wait, you don't need to know anything about shad fishing to catch them. :lol:
1-2 oz weights, 1/32 oz chartruese, green, or red/white jigheads with 8 lb line (at least) in the columbia. Cast out as far as you can upstream and let it bounce it's way down, start reeling in slowly, faster and faster as it gets closer to the bank.

I dont usually have weekends off, and he's in school so that's why im going to take him in the summer.
As far as Shad go, i dont even know what they look like. Are they edible?

Uhm, I dont think you would Enjoy eating them. They are at Full blast in the Summer. in June and July are peak times.
When I was a kid, About his age my dad took me to cascade locks. I dident catch any though because we went at a bad time. But I still had a lot of fun Casting and stuff.
and wait until May when the "'09 Shad thread" Starts. Youll know everything you need

Shad are very delicious... just bony. If you steam them and pick off the meat at the same angle as the bones, it will come away clean. They fight hard and you'll have no trouble telling whether the bite is a fish or a rock. The roe is fantastical however.
search "shad" in the search tool.
