Forgot to post the odd one.  Here it is.  

I caught one the other night that had a humpback like that.

Ive been looking for a good wake bait, Red Fin has been working but looking for something that can be worked quickly.

Any suggestions SplitG2?

Strike King wake shad looked good but seems to be discontinued...

 

196 - I bought some bomber jointed Minnows  but  they aren’t as light as the red fin and don’t sit as high in the water so I go back to the the fin.  I’ve also seen a guy on you tube modify the Redfin by removing the second half and replacing with a treble which I think would be a great option in certain situations on table rock but haven’t tried it yet.  A good friend and mentor turned me on to the Mann’s minus one a few years ago but haven’t tried it on schooling fish yet. It’s hard to switch in the middle of the action.  Let us know what you find with the other options.

I've been able to get them to bite a white spoon when I see them schooling on shad

I caught 2 on a Dixie jet spoon the next morning.  The first was caught deep but clean.  The second choked it hard and was difficult to remove.  He made it but I decided to put it down after that and move on.  

All mine where hitting it good but only eating the hook

Glad to hear.  I’ve deep hooked more than I’d like to admit with the slab spoons and Dixie jets.  I’ll probably throw the big flutter spoons more going forward.  

I'm going to be throwing a big spoon as well
