Docks
Bass will use docks for many reasons during the spawn and there is no better bait to use than a wacky rig. Throw to all areas of the dock and let the bait fall on slack line.

Shad
Been a very tough bite over the last 7+ days, local tournament last weekend was won for under a 20lb bag, most fish were coming off either a lipless crank (Rat-L-Trap, 6th Sense Quake 70, and a Strike King Redeye Shad in shad colors) fished over points and natural chokepoints or off soft plastics (Lizards and worms, either whites, watermelon, or a chartreuse color) along weed edges/grass and stumps, definitely going to be earning any fish that end up in the boat.
