Nothing beats a topwater bait in the shallows. I fish Zara Spook and Rebel Pop R 80% of the time in shallow water (1-4 ft depth). I caught my biggest largemouth (10½ lbs) on a Spook in 3 ft of water in LaRue County. I consistently catch 4 lb+ bass most of the year. When the topwater baits aren't working, I switch to a Okiebug spinner bait and that takes up the slack. Early Spring is also a great time to fish the buzz baits....I prefer the Gatorbug made by Okiebug Lures (company now defunct but I have a LOT of their lures).
