Red face shad????

Being new to salt water fishing....I am getting desperate to start fishing...and catching something, anything. I guess I should go after some hold-overs to quench my need for fish, but I was curious if anyone fishes for shad.

If I understand correctly, shad should be arriving soon to spawn. I know they make great table fare, and the roe is highly desireable, but I just want to catch and release. I just want to fish....and catch.....

Anyone have any advice? Tips for tackle, tactics, reading material, maybe even some suggeted locations - not specifics, just ideas.
