If there's a ton of shad high in the water and bass are focusing on them heavily, and ignoring your baits, try a shad-colored crankbait or spinnerbait below the wad of shad. Sometimes getting a bait below them with a stop-go retrieve makes them scatter and your bait's the only thing there.

Don't think you can go too shallow, either. They may be up in the dirt, too. Good luck.




All of this.
