With 59 degree water ,. they should still chase a bait. I would use long casts with a sassy shad , use the countdown technique , and crank it SLOOOOOOOW. One of favorite bait for suspended fish has been discontinued by Strike King.  It was called the Jiggn Spoon. If anybody knows where I could find some , Please let me know good luck MO Mo, Fun and Sun in Hurst has some, do you want me to pick them up and send them to you if they still have them? I think they were 2.95 each.

I would use a fluke not sassy shad--I am also going to try tying a large deceiver fly and using it in a drop shot rig--haven't done it before but thought it would be worth a try. You just gave away the big secret right there for suspended dead sticking fish. DagNab it!  Oh well, maybe nobody noticed.

Did I mention that Moes has them? 4" on the sassy shad, a 3/4 ounce jig head is fine. I usually use an ounce, not that they are better but that is what I pour the most of. http://www.moestackleshop.com/estore/products/434

I like 3/4 oz for light winds but I like 1 oz for windy days and when fish are holding at 30+ ft depths.

Sassy Shad look really good, I'll have to try them sometime.
Thanks for the info.
