I wasn't getting a whole lot of luck with anything but white w/red traces spinnerbaits and a white/red chatterbait. Most of my luck has been with medium and large roach minnows. I'll stick one mouth hooked on a bobber by the cattails while I spin cast the other rod and about 85% of my hits come on the minnows. It was a slow year getting 2 or 3 a week until I started using the minnows and the season has just exploded, usually grabbing at least 8-10 bass in a 3 hour span 5 nights a week, about 1/3 of them over 3 lbs. It's a nice setup I recommend since the roaches work great and meanwhile I can spincast covering more area and keeping myself occupuied.
