I have been catching bass in shallow and up to 8'. Since the bass are trying to catch shad bait fish I'm working the bottom real slow with a crazy flapper in orange/red, a space monkey in green pepper red flake and a 8" lizard black emerald and catching 8 to 15 bass each day at the nature park cove near lock 3. Lately the stripe bass and stripers have been showing up for some fast action on white rooster tail spinners with black spots work great.
