Shad
Bass are still pre-spawn because of the long winter. As the weather warms up schools of shad are moving into shallow water among the lily pads that are starting to grow. White and shad color spinnerbaits are working well, especially in bright sunlight. Under cloudy skies and chocolate milk colored water more natural darker colors such as bluegill have been working also.
