Been getting into the summer/fall transition, and it's gotten to feast or famine from the shore, Pop-R's and Jerkbaits have been getting it done for me lately, haven't had much luck on many moving baits but if they are going to bite one it's been a squarebill lately.

Took me a good bit to accept that they weren't on a shad bite anymore, but when I finally quit being stubborn and tied on a tube I started landing them pretty close to every cast, just hopping bottom amongst the rocks along the weed edges or crashing through the mats and they were mashing it, best fish went 2lb 13oz and I probably caught half a dozen in 15 minutes. Green Pumpkin body with a bit of blue seemed to be the deal tonight
