        Shad

      A rattletrap fished quickly and erratically along lips, ledges and drop offs produced half a dozen fish in about 90 minutes on the Columbia River today about 1800-1930 local, grass is almost becoming a problem for treble hook baits, another couple few weeks and it'll probably be time to switch to a swim jig until the salad starts to die off again in the autumn. Best colors were shad patterns, blacks, whites, Grey's and chromes

        Shad

      New PB tonight, went 15 fish landed and 17 hooked in 90 minutes in the Arlington/Roosevelt area, red Owner Ultrahead Inshore Swimbait hook paired with a 4in BioSpawn Exoswim Feider Shad absolutely obliterated them in the rocks tonight, didn't seem to matter too much whether I fished it fast or erratic or slow, it just flat got bit

        Shad

      Landed 8 of 10 on a Rebel Pop-R in Sexy Shad colors, plus 2 or 3 more on a swimbait in the evening, the misses were followed up by casts to the same areas and were rewarded virtually instantly with a blowup, so I probably caught both of my missed fish, the fish were not at all interested in a football head jig, or the buzzbait I offered them, seems that crippled shad is the preference today, seemed to be a pretty even split between the strikes being in the sun, shade, calm, and disturbed water conditions, pretty much if you were over the rocks at the first drop off from shore and popped your popper every few seconds in an erratic pattern you were getting bit.
