Hey thanks friend, Now I would have to say is defiantly the time to do so. They are staying aggressive in the 4ft shallow range in this late season spring warming water. Paralleling the grass lines and ledges in my opinion would be the "hot bite" areas.
Thanks for your comment....
Hope that helps,

Mike, I've had a lot of luck with watermelon/red and black with silver glitter colored flukes for bass. Also the Albino Shad color works well, it's gray and darker gray.

Salty those fish will be on those shoreline grass edges for the next month. Throw a buzzbait to the back side of the grass and bring it through. A floating pink worm is also a killer. My secret weapon is a Hildebrant Snagless Sally. You can also power pole down and flip tubes to pick the grass apart. This is the best time of year for that grass bite.

Thumbs up "Buccaneer"

I absolutely agree and that's a good bait I'm sure as well. I'll have to test the waters with it here during the prime time.
Thanks you much,
