Generally happens in August. Years ago I was in a friends boat (I know, what the hell was DZ doing on a boat?) and they were all over the surface on Brenton Reef with cow bass just guzzeling them. We threw everything in the bag at them - caught one bass about three pounds on the smallest bucktail we had. Frustrated my partner Al says lets troll unbrellas through them. Two umbrella rigs towed about 50 feet and both rods double over. Long story short we broke off everything. One frame came in destroyed with no tubes left. The other came in with tubes missing and straightened hooks - one hook point had a scale the size of a quarter embedded on the point. Got schooled.
