Weather:> Sunny with the wind at 5 mph.
Fish Boated:
1 - 3 lb.Spotted Bass caught with a shaky head.
1 - 2 lb. 2 oz. Spotted Bass caught with a shaky head.
19 - 2 lbs. Spotted Bass caught with a shaky head.

Technique:
We patterned points and secondary points, tips, and drop offs near deep water as the full moon had the bass staging in areas close to shallow water. We fished up to a depth of 20 feet of water using the shaky head rigged with a stick bait.

It is important to cover a lot of water if possible. Shake, dance or twitch your shaky head aggressively while reeling up your stack frequently. Keeping a tight line is crucial as these fish bite early and often.
