    At that water temp, they'd have no trouble coming up a little to eat a jerkbait, or you could run a swimbait or crankbait into them.

    Dadgummit shoulda woulda coulda.....

    One thing I need to get better at is making good choices on the water. I did throw a jighead and grub through them and they scattered. Never could mark them again. Maybe I was too close.

    Thanks guys!! Live and learn. I have about $500 worth of each of those baits you suggested in the boat.

    Thanks again!!

    i would agree with the jerkbait an/or crank. The jerkbait idea wouldnt be bad either if you could it at the right depth or just above them.

    A flutter spoon would catch them as well.

    Truer words have never been spoken (OK, written). GREAT quotes!

    As for those fish, other things you might try would be a wacky-rigged Senko (weightless) or a Jackal Flick Shake worm (5.8") w/ a very light head (3/32oz). Both techniques work extremely well on suspended fish.

    As shallow as they are in clear water - Jerkbait or whacky rigged senko. Long cast away from the school.
