Shad Net
I'm looking for a inexpensive shad net! Anyone know where I can get one that wont break the bank...
i got mine at sport chalet for $40. but i cant catch anything with it. guess the good ones are $250. gonna try friday 1 last time with it.
Go to the fishin fools in the valley, you can get a promar shad dip net for about 75.00 the trick to netting shad if your on a boat is to have 2 nets and have your fishing partner work the other net, it's almost impossible to net shad with 1 net, I was at Castaic on Monday and was able to net shad back in the coves were the water gets shallow work as a team and you'll get them good luck. The only problem with the big fancy dip nets is they create a lot of resistance in the water and are hard to work with.

Thanks for the tip tony. Sounds like a recon mission to get the shad.
Hi
It's not impossible to get shad with 1 net. I've done shad with 1 net all the time with or without a boat. So do other people. Anyways, I will be at the lake on the early morning of the 13th of October. I'll be the Asian dude by the dock trying to get shad. I'll be using a 30" shad net I hot from bob sands. Say hi if ur there and maybe we be lucky enough to get some fish candy.
By the way, if I can find the smaller net I got from fish and fools a while back, I'm gonna bring it and give it to you for FREE. no kidding. I know where the poles are just have to find the net

Thanks vertical. That's offly nice of you. I would really love to fish tomorrow but unfortunitely I have to work. Hey If your willing to work something out we can meet somewhere. I'll be there this saturday and sunday forsure.
i just read your post .. im not gonna be around on the weekend ... if you live in the sherman oaks area... i can hand it over to you... and your in luck... i have the poles and net... so thats the best i can do... it has to be this week because come saturday... i will be very hard to track down because of work.... its the shad net they sell in fish and fools for around $75 if im not mistaken.... and ill give it to you for free.... its used but it works and can be used....
All I can say is I've had a hard time netting shad with 1 lrg net by myself it sounds like some guy's have had luck by themselfs, I have only tried from my boat never from the shore or dock so give it a try and get some. Hey vertical I'll take the smaller net if minjoser doesn't, I can't store the larger net on my boat I'm thinking about selling it. Thanks T
