Hey Waxworm:

I don't have any secrets!

We're trolling Bandit 300s at 2.2 to 2.5-mph by GPS on 15-pound mono from 130 to 175-feet behind the boat across points, humps and anywhere we see balls of shad on the graph or whites, hybrids or black bass working shad on the surface.

Chartreuse with a grean back, Chartreuse with an orange back and pink belly (new color called "Mango"), Tennessee shad, white, silver with black back and white with black back have all been productive at times. We're catching a few crappie too this way but were moving a bit fast for them most of the time.

I was off the water over the weekend (wife made me take a "vacation") and we couldn't find very many hungry ones this morning but we're going after them again tomorrow.
