I have been fishing shallow water in the back of coves. I went out on fri. and caught a couple more bass, catfish, crappie and more carp. the bass and catfish I caught casting a chartreuse sassy shad on an 1/8 jig. they were mixed in with the shad and carp that are in the shallows. the carp were caught on the same jig but most were fowl hooked, but some did bite the jig because I keep it close to the bottom. they were fun on 4lb test line! I caught the crappie in 10-15ft of water in same areas on small tube jigs fished verticle. when I say shallow water I am casting to inches of water and reeling out to about 3ft of water. I probably would have done better on the bass if I would have been throwing a spinner bait in that dirty water.
