When you see bass corralling the shad at the surface, try running a buzzbait
across the commotion. The dark silhouette and sputtering, burbling blades
draw strikes marauding bass -- even the bigger ones that are hunkering down
below the ball of shad, picking off the wounded prey.

I've had pretty good results, too, from running a spinnerbait across the
surface, and then killing it in the middle of the school and letting the
blade(s) rotate as the bait drops down on a semi-taut line. Let it run on
down about ten seconds or more, the rip it back upwards.

It helps to use a spinnerbait brand where the lure body remains horizontal
on the drop instead of nose-diving, and with the blades rotating freely
above.

Thanks again everyone!

Joe,

I am thinking I will have to order a couple black buzzbaits and
Spinnerbaits for those situations. One problem I am having is the lack
of darker color baits. I know the prey don't change color , but I would
still like to make my bait standout at night. I caught 3 more legals
last night in 45 degree weather and 30mph gusts :-), good times. Only
caught 1 legal and 4 shorts tonight, but maybe the 37 degrees last night
effected them a bit. Steve probably had it even worse :-).

Thanks for the tips Joe!
