David,

Maybe I can help a little. Even though I am still mad for not getting to be in on the action (had to work) my buddy had a good time last night. He went to a pond that he fishes often. He is a spin fisher and had his three y-o son and some minnows for bait. After finding bedding bass below the dike, he managed 8 LM's from 5 beds. His weapon was a rubber lizard dropped into the bed behind the fish. He tried other things including minnows without success. Seems that keeping the lizard away from the eggs was what worked. The fish would just nail it and try to carry it to the middle of the pond. He landed everyone!
