The bass are congregating on the channels and gorging on shad in schools. Fair to mid-range in size, but lots to be caught. Not what you would want to key on if tourney fishing, but lots of fun to catch. Any hard swim bait, such as a spot-bait or lipless crank thrown into the schools gets good bites. Same happening in canals around the neighborhoods in Pelahatchie Bay, as well as the Madison side, with larger bass being found in these areas on dropoffs and shadow holes.

Parallel riprap with chatterbait, crankbait and buzzbait. Rotate thru the baits until you find the best one for that day.
