Another technique to use when bass are boiling is spooning. Quite often the larger bass will feed beneath the boils, picking up wounded or dead shad. If it is windy, try buzz baits or crankbaits with small spinners like Heddon's Torpedo. The really good buzz-bait bite may be just starting. This is also the time for classic topwater striper fishing at Colorado River Lakes.
Striped bass hit like runaway freight trains.
Good lures to try are Pencil Poppers, Zara Spooks and AC Plugs. Spoons cast near or into boils can also be effective. Lakes Mead, Mohave and Havasu are good bets. My favorite fall striper fishery is Lake Powell. Not only are there stripers hitting topwater, but smallmouth and largemouth bass as well.
