I would think some of the smallmouths you caught would have been spitting up shad as I'm sure they're gorging themselves on them.

thanks, yea true might be another herring.
i didnt happen to see any bait skipping myself, think Gerry did, but rather some bigger schools subsurface around one of the weedy edges. The bait didnt look very "herring/shad" like though so curious if I could find that out.
