pogey/shad look a like bait

[bull1134]

I have been a couple of times and seen huge numbers of either shad, or pogeys. To me, they are shad, I don't know if that's the same thing as a pogey? Anyway, when I see that, I always see fish bustin on em, and while I manage to catch a few, it's pretty hard to get a hook up with the baits I'm using. then I cast net a few of em, and try that, but still don't catch all that well.

Anyone got a go to bait in this situation that mimicks these little fish and seems to work good?
