Was throwing a big glide that got most of the attention with no bites. Worked well to draw in the bass, then threw the spinner to capitalize on the schooled fish.

Throwing around the magdraft up shallow around submerged stumps or lay down trees caught lots of fish, jerkbait over schools of baitfish, dropshot in a couple brush piles, and a looked anywhere we could fit it. Spinnerbait produced probably the most, bouncing it off stumps/laydowns and getting those fall reaction strikes.
Crappie
