    Fish are shallow, very shallow. Flip laydowns all day long for a few select bites. There are plenty of laydowns to cover so keep at it. Tried to find fish deeper but they were reluctant to bite anything.

      Shad

    We fished Forbes Lake the temperature of the air was 71° and the water temperature 81° with 1 foot visibility and a slight chop on the water. We fished the morning with reaction baits and had no bites or fish. After lunch we switched to finesse baits using a Lews speed rod and a 2000 spinning reel with 15 pound power pro super slick to 10 pound vanish leader the other outfit was a skeet Reese fast 7 foot fast action rod with the 15 pound power pro super slick to 10 pound floro leader with a Berkeley 6 inch show worm. This was rigged wacky style for both of these baits. We had to fish within 3 feet of the bank, if we got further away we got no bites or fish.

    We fished the morning with reaction baits and had two strikes . After lunch we switched to finesse baits . The water temp was 81 degrees, blue bird skies, one foot visibility and a slight ripple on the water. I fished with a Lews speed stick with 2000 spinning reel lined with 15 lb power pro super slick to vanish fluoro leader. A #2 Neko hook with a shad neo bait my partner fished with a shakey head rigged wacky style on power pro super slick 2 to 8 lb fluoro. We had to literally fish the bank near lay downs no bites three ft from the bank
