Caught some Shad as well,but my one friend has had alot of sucess with it in Summer,getting Kingies up to 12kgs on it.I checked Barry Wareham also had immense sucess with it on Off the chart adventures,catching,Kingies and Barracouta with it.Attending one of his clinics,he reckons its best to start throwing spoon in the dark 30mins or so before sunrise into the early mornings and in the evenings until 30mins or so into the Dark.Just stick to brighter colours on lighter conditions and the dark colours in obviously darker condition.

when fishing it for shad etc do you use a whire trace or not??

going to the coast soon and wana try one out aswell

 

[Nemesis]

Nope u dont really need wire.Just have a good leader of about .60 to .70 depending on your set up.

Finally got some shad on the iron candy, 6 of them , in the 40cm+ range. It outfished the normal chrome s-bend spoons

I dont use wire when fishing for shad. 0.70mm line about 30cm attached to a swivel which is attached to my leader.
