I fish the banks and boat ramps before work most mornings. I usually get bit or land one -two pounders doing this. My time frame is from about 4 am -6 am then off to work.

Shad
Baitfish have moved into creek mouths and pockets and the bass have followed. Finding shad was the key. Caught a total of 7 keepers from 2pm-9pm using the NetBait T-Mac on an Owner Ultrahead Shakey. All were near rock in 7’ or less. Fish were noticeably active and chasing bait but showed no interest in a Chopo, or Chatterbait MiniMax.
