If you see a predator swirl, throw 10 feet across the ring and work it back across. If you hit on top of the ring, you'll spook the fish.

That is a good point. On Tims Ford, when the hybrids have the bait pushed up against the bank, I have caught smallmouth right in the mix with the hybrids. I will also try and run a plastic jerkbait near the bottom of the school that you see. Sometimes the biggest fish will come off of that.
