Thanks for the advice fishfight.
I was there at sunrise. And the first fish I saw caught (the big one which I didn't ID) was prior to 8. probably around 7. It was a beautiful calm day and others were landing fish even through noon. As far as I saw most if not all fish were caught with worm on a drop shot type rig.
As for me, I tried spoons (waiting for them to drop before reeling), diving crankbaits, soft plastic jigs and drop shot worms - both real and fake. When none of that seemed to work I decided to try some experimentation (after prime time). I saw some garlic attractant being sold in a tackle shop... so I had placed some soft plastics in a plastic bag with a good amount of ground garlic the previous night. I used some of these garlic scented baits for 2 hours maybe with no hits. The rest of the time I was trying for carp using a corn adorned hair rig.

This is the first time I've heard of this. What do you believe is the reasoning?
Like I mentioned. I have never seen so much surface activity. I am not sure what fish was producing it. But there was constant relatively light splashing at the surface all morning. It slowed down afterwards but was still there. From time to time a visibly large fish would jump as well.
