Shad Fishing on the Nine Mile
Just when I figured I was going to have to travel back in time and fight some big fat Scottish guy to get my “fishing mojo” back, I finally got into some fish.
Today I managed to get six Shad, all of them big. There were more there to be caught but I was content and headed for home.
For a change everyone hooked was brought to hand. Usually I loose one or two for everyone landed, especially these big six pounders. What a battle they put up. It really is as Brad says, “Arm aching action”. Maybe it was because I was fishing faster water than I normally fish but all of the takes were perfect and I was able to play the fish confidently.
Oh yeah, for those of you locally, green seems to be the preferred fly colour, today anyway.Labels: American Shad, Nine Mile River, preferred fly colour, Shad Run 2009, Shubenacadie

I lost my MOJO once for almost three months. It really sucked. I found it under a snag, a trevally was holding it.
Tight lines
Hello Fish Whisperer,
Yeah, that Mojo thing is complicated business. It would be a good name for a fly though.
Cheers,
Steve
Glad you got your mojo back!
I was thinking of going again tomorrow night. Water should be pretty good!
Fishing has been spotty Brad.
Lots one day and hard to connect the next.
We will try again this weekend maybe.
Cheers,
Steve
