Was they just swirling or suning? Chasing shad?

| Search Fishin.com |
I went fishing yesterday at Fall Creek, fished near the point of Old Fall Creek, did not have any luck, but I did see several large fish near the surface, could not tell what they were, I believe they may have been smallies, they were brown, spotted and the tip of their tail was dark, I know they were not gar or carp...either way they looked to be about 26'' long. Would love to have hooked one of them...

I believe they were just sunning, there were a few signs of shad on the top, but these were just swimming around...I am fairly sure they were smallies...
