Try this usually the fish are swatting at the balls to stunn or isolate a bait fish so use a spinner bait with colorado blades and jigs that you can swim. throw the lures near the shad and real the bait up and simultaneously pump the rod almost like your going to pull the bait out of the water but stop just before the bait comes out of the surface. what happens is the shad spread and make a hole let the bait fall in the hole you have created for about a one second count and repeat this action. Sometimes the fish want it very fast like pump reel pump reel they tend to chase when you do this but when they catch the bait the divoure it almost swallowing it. I have done allot of this type fishing and have been successfull in all types of water all over the US.
Good Luck
