The Okashira screwhead jig is a great way to catch really pressured fish. I was using it as a follow up lure, but it definitely shines on its own. When they stop eating a jerk bait or a crank, but you can still see fish, give this jig a shot.

We started the morning fishing the shad spawn. We were targeting this on main-lake red clay banks. We caught fish throwing a spinnerbait up near the bank and reeling it back to the boat. Once the shad quit spawning we moved into coves and started targeting fry guarders. We found these around shallow docks with brush under them. We caught the bass guarding fry with a wacky rigged senko. When the sun was out we were able to see specific bass and cast to them and catch them.
