Not trying to criticize but it sounds like the school got spooked. A hatch might have slammed or something. I can usually move around to another spot and find a couple more though. Save your live shrimp next time though. When they're busting bait at day break that's the perfect time for topwater. Nothing beats a blow up on a skitterwalk.

Thanks for the advice, next time I will pay a little more attention to what is going on to see if I was the culprit for why the bite stopped just like that.

I do not normally use live bait, but all the reports I had been hearing about was no live bait, equals no fish. I did move around that morning but was unable to find the school again.

I did throw my she dog a few time in another spot with no luck. There was a few boats around me that was using popping corks, and I did not see them pull one fish in the boat.

Come to think about it, the last fish I caught was a, roughly 10lb black drum which really stired up the water. That must have been the turning point.

When I was at the marina cleaning the fish, I was talking to another guy that had said the bite was odd that day. He went on to say pretty much the same thing I said, it was hot and heavy for a short period of time, and just like that it stopped. He was targeting reds not trout.
