Prespawn evening trip until 45 minutes after sunset. Started with 5" red shad senko, rigged weightless, Texas-style casting at different types of visible cover (laydowns, submerged dark patches (pad stems, other submerged vegetation), rocks). Cast, dead stick for 15 secs, drag for a bit then work back as soft jerkbait; bass mainly hit on initial drop; pickerel when working back. Once sunset, senko bite died, started slow rolling chatterbait (green pumpkin with gp speed craw trailer) over rocks, logs and grass on bottom. Nine bass, 3 pickerel caught in 1.5 hour outing.
