    Not sure what you are supposed to do but I bet the first thing you did was smile.

    Saw that at Table Rock one day in a cove. Screen looked like that on 2d, SI, and DI throughout the whole pocket. I knew it was about to be on!! After a few minutes of no bites and seeing them come up for air all around us I finally put two and two together. Talk about excitement then let down!!

    They school like that on Hamilton as well as Ouachita. You can tell in that pic that pick those weren't bass because of the very straight lines and on top of each other. Below is a good pick of some Bass you can drop a spoon or drop shot too.

    They're getting this way on parts of Beaver lake, on the upper end where the White and War Eagle merge. We went up into Piney Creek and slayed them this year, just for fun. Fishing with a piece of rope tied on to 10lb mono and a med-light spinning rod. Mega-boocoo-FUN! They fight so damn hard, and watching them bite the rope and get tangled up is hilarious. My son and I sounded like a couple of school girls giggling. When we finally dragged in a 6' needle nose and showed the folks in the pontoon next to us, all the swimmers got out of the water.

    If you've never seen this, here's a video tutorial:
