Well seems I still can’t pick the bait or the reel used. Ark Gravity BFS reel and the bait is a Eurotackle Z-Spender jerkbait from Amazon or the Eurotackle web site. The threadfin shad color specifically. Caught a few of these. They didn’t seem to look twice at any other baits around me. This is a 2 inch suspending jerk bait. I also tried a sinking bitsy jerk bait from strike king and they were not interested. Not a big fish, but where there are a few smaller ones there are larger ones somewhere. Anyway, I didn’t have time to try a larger size before night fall. So maybe something to try for others that want to. I am guessing any shad color suspending jerkbait may work. I just chose the duo realis bait in this case because that was the closest option.

Caught at the boat ramp. Shad were surfacing in the area and skipjack appeared to be feeding on them. This guy was about 10ft off shore.

Weather has been rainy and nasty. Figured I would give it a shot and see what I could catch today. Caught this one right up near the bank on the jig. He hammered it and swallowed it practically.
