This time of year until the spawn I get a lot of them fishing with a white 3 or 4"twister tail on a 1/8 oz chatreuse jig head near shore. I use an UL 6' pole with 4 or 6 pound test and it is a blast. I usually go along the shore with my boat and toss the jig right up near the rocks and pull it back. I alternate between a steady retrieve and a jerk retrieve to see how they want it. When they are spawning I use a tube rigged texas style and drop it near or on the nest and shake it. If they are staging just before or just after the spawn I use a jerk bait, spinner bait or top water presentation if the conditions are right. Post spawn they are usually in deeper water and I drop shot, or carolina rig with tubes or rubber worms for a good biteon larger fish. If you fish the shallows along shore in summer you usually only get smaller fish.
