Spawning shad Without a doubt, my favorite May fishing pattern is early morning topwater fishing around the spawning shad schools, Mitchell said

That means a Senko should be fished slowly and methodically, and is especially effective around cover in shallow water of around 12 feet or less though it can go much deeper with added weight

For typical farm ponds that have light cover and stained water I choose a few different categories like small crankbaits such as the Norman Deep Baby N, small spinnerbaits like the War Eagle Finesse, BOOYAH Pad Crashers if grass is present, a few topwaters like the Heddon Super Spook Jr and Rebel Pop-R and most importantly a heavy dose of plastics like the YUM Dinger, Christie Craw, and Pulse swimbaits
