This weekend I tried fishing a swim jig for the first time. I was throwing a Dirty Jigs swim jig (new sexy shad) with a Optimum Double Diamond 3.5" trailer (sexy shad). I didn't catch any on it but shad kept schooling around my bait 4 or 5 at a time. They were about 5 to 10 inches in length. I would get my jig back to the boat do a figure 8 and the shad would follow it. I have never had this happen with any other lure I've thrown. Has this happened to anyone else before? I thought it was pretty cool.

had a similar experience during a tourny couple of years ago-started throwing a 1/2 to 3/4 oz spinnerbait with a real shiny blade-second cast caught a 5lber, and continued to catch fish on every cast for over an hour when i decided to get to weigh in. If there were no shad bumpin and following spinnerbait there was no bite. And oh yeah, won the Va Pro AM by quite a margin.

The shad are in a mating mood and looking for a lover!!!!!!!!!

Serious, they do it on Guntersville all the time at this time of year

Thats funny, I hope they're still doing it this weekend. I'm gunna cash in this time.

They were doing that at Lake of the Ozarks this weekend on the spinnerbait...Some would just swim with it...other wuould bump it...
