Sounds like my last attempt. Had to work for the fish we caught. There is a lot of bait in the water now - presumably a large gizzard shad spawn. Every fish we caught was puking up little 1" shad on the way in. We saw one school of baby shad balled up in a cove, and ran into a school of 10" gizzards in open water that were jumping like dolphins.

Harder to catch the fish when they are already stuffed full of shad.
