I've only ever used fly fishing gear to catch shad, with sinking line. I wait a good 10 to 20 seconds and then strip line fast. How would you fish it using spinning gear? Still use a shad dart?

Thanks, good to know...maybe I'll give it a shot sometime using spinning gear. I tested out fly fishing in the kayak last weekend. I wasn't sure how well stripping line would go from a seated position. It was actually not that bad. I installed a home made standup bar for my kayak, but honestly my balance just isn't all that great and I wasn't too comfortable even with the bar standing up, especially when I'm anchored up right on the seam of the main current.

I went this morning from about 9:00 to 11:30 and fished from shore. It was really really really windy. Hard to make a good cast. I didn't get anything but I saw people in the few boats out pulling some on rather consistently. I plan on heading back out again tomorrow afternoon with the yak to try again.
