Whites, Hybrids and Stripers?

A boat passing by at high speed definitely chops up the shad on the surface and can cause a frenzy if the fish are already nearby.  It really helps if it's got twin 400R's and is pushing 100mph.

I did some doughnuts over them the other evening and caught some, but it was time for them to get fired up anyway.....so I'm not sure if I learned anything.   

The next time I'm out and the bite just quits I'll try it again.   Where I'm fishing I have to be careful or I'll smack a stump.    It ain't worth a 600.00 prop 😊

Glenn I do my donuts over them and try to intercept schools coming in. I think once they have stuffed their faces they are in not mood to feed. I have found in the place I fish they are moving towards certain areas as I am sure you know. I stay out a bit from those areas to do my donuts and searching. That is what happened the other evening . There were 3 boats out there besides me. They were all sitting up on a shallow area that the fish had been rising to. The rise there is the not a consistent thing. . I stayed out and was doing my exploring in 20 ft of water. I found  two schools of big ones at 18 ft. and caught 5 out of them. Never seen another fish caught by anyone.  I have said this before.   I think bigger the fish get the less time they spend shallow. I can see in my mind how a large Hybrid.would be searching more for a bigger meal or one that it has to expend lesser energy catching. And I will admit. I do cheat( as I been told by some people people) some of the time by using FRESH  Shad on the tip of my spoon.

The kid FINALLY caught one ! 

OMG if you only knew all the crap we've been through... 

This is the child that "doesn't like to fish". 🙄 

Funny how she wouldn't put the rod down afterwards. 😃 So there's still hope!

Peacefully? Madison? 😂  

Only when you leave her alone and give her what she asks for.   

Everything is a fight.😏 Her sister's nickname for her is War Pig, but we can't call her that in front of mom anymore. ☠️

Yeah, you'd better hurry up and retire, because music and band is on her radar.  🤣

Naw, her teachers always say that she's a "genuine doll in class, always helpful and polite".   She either hates us, or her teachers are lying. 😅

Mine is generally pretty good for everyone else, but is a real pistol at home much of the time.
