    Try a popper for when they surface. That usually fools a few. Also, try a lipless CB and a soft plastic jerkbait. Those finicky fish can be a real headache.

    If they are schooling bass I have caught them with a Rattle Trap, ALWAYS.

    This is one of my favorite times to fish. The key is when fish are feeding on small fry is to pick a bait that puts out the same vibration as the fry. For example I'll throw a speed worm, horny toad,Tiny torpedo, or a 1/8 oz. spinnerbait. Then as the fry grows I'll move up to a Cane toad, spook jr., or a 1/4 oz. spinnerbait.
