Top Water - Still ???

My last two outings I still got a hit or two on topwater. No. Nothing
spectacular, but a hit or two. I can't seem to hook up though.

Saturday I went out and explored a little. Didn't really fish. Just
checked out some water I hadn't been on before. About 11:30 I ran back to
the dock at Squaw Lake were I picked up my wife and kids, and another kid
who had spent the night at the house. I ran them up the river to Fisher's
Landing and we had lunch.

While I was waiting at the dock on Squaw Lake I saw schools of shad right up
against my boat two or three times, and some scattered top water minnow
action around the area.

I switched back and forth between throwing a topwater, a jerk bait, and a
spinner bait. I didn't catch anything, but I got two solid hits on the
topwater by one decent fish. Maybe 15 inches or so.

The first school of shad I saw went right under my boat, and I could see two
stripers slashing through the school below me.

With that much minnow action and obvious feeding fish what would you have
thrown?
