I know this counts for nothing other than old war stories lol but around ten years ago I fished the Sabine river south of I-10 and la side with nothing but a crappy wal-mart 2-5' white crankbait with black top and pink belly. And a husky jerk bait. Filled the boat with 2-3lb bass that were all over some shad that were running in and out of a pretty big but shallow marsh. Awesome weekend and if I hear of them running like that again I may have to catch the flu at work
