April 3, 2009, Newsletter Issue #130: Look for the Gulls

Tip of the Week

Look for white bass charging into schools of shad on the surface. Shad will skip across the water’s surface in an effort to escape, sometimes only to be picked off by sea gulls. If you spots gulls hovering around the water’s surface, cast a small spinner or crankbait into the fray and hold on. Catching a fish on every cast isn’t unrealistic and you can find some lunker whites using this method.
