[quote HockeyMan]Hey Richy - did you try any black spinnerbaits or topwater?
I have had consistent success on SH at night with 1/2 - 5/8 black spinnerbaits spinning big colorado blades. I love the thump. Topwater - floating Spro BBz1 or Zara Spook over shallow bushes to deeper water, and buzzbaits up way shallow next to any stick-ups.
Nothing wrong with a lipless crank bite. Super fun.
Just wondering on any other techniques.

Yes I have...a big Colorado bladed spinner bait is my other "go-to" bait for night fishing, as well as a jig with rattles. I've tried top water with some success, but not nearly as much as the other three baits. I relate that to the forage and lack of shad. Any other lake with shad populations...I LOVE to throw top water. I've also had some luck with wake baits in the shallows at SH at night...but over all, the lipless are hard to beat IMO. Thanks.
