The spotted bass were chasing shad off main lake points and into coves. While fishing points I was always on the lookout for blowups. I like a rigs with blades this time of year, extra bling to get their attention.

There were bass chasing schools of shad back in coves off main lake points. I was in 15-20’ foot of water casting to shallower water.
