Much better than my experience today - caught 4 bass total, 3 early dragging plastics and one on the Duo. Saw lots of shad, but never ganged up in one spot like Bill described. Caught a 3 lb. flathead, made the mistake of letting him flop around on the front deck, that sucker left more slime than you'd get from a 100 bass.
I saw lots of 6" bass today, once when I was bringing the Duo in, I had about a dozen of them follow it in, kind of funny, a few of them slashed at the bait, but none of them grabbed it, they just swam behind it up to the boat. Hopefully a good sign for the future.
