We were throwing Bizz Baits Sassy Stick 4" Junebug and they were smacking those. Also throwing a 4" Junebug grub and they liked that too.

Used a bandit 200 today around grass edges in the mouths of coves & around docks near coves. Had a good day they are definitely chasing shad. You could see them spread out across the surface as the evening came just busting the shad.
