No doubt, and it is one of those fisheries that you could literally put out brass swivels attached to a hook, and still kill a bunch of the nasty, lunker herring. The most effective methods are the ones where you keep your gear 3 feet or less off of the bottom, and have anything shiny attached!:lol: Haha, fun fishery if you ask me. And they make such great bait!
SO........can you "drift" shad from the bank like steelhed or salmon?
I don't mean with a shad dart, but with a small swivel and hook type setup.... OR.....does that move by them too quickly?

That would be fine! But all you need is a lot bigger weight when you are "drift fishing" the columbia right next to bonneville on bradfort Island. 1/2 oz minimum. I will use around 1 oz. You can do it with a shad dart, a small jig, a small jighead, or anything small and shiny.
Weren't you just pokin' at somebody for drifting a cannonball a few weeks ago?
