I agree with bassin101. I look forward to the fall every year. Any lake with shad will give you the opportunity to catch topwater fish which I think is a blast. Find fairly shallow water and look for schooling shad. It will be easy to see bass eating these shad. Another good thing is you can catch most species of bass from this pattern. My personal favorite bait. Lucky Craft sammy in chartreuse shad. It's a killer. Don't be afraid to throw big baits either because shad should be big by this time of year.
