thanks for all the suggestions, hopefully i can get out soon and test them out

New to the forum, looking for some advice to help put bass in the boat. I've been marking some good sized schools of what i believe are alewives (main forage) out in open water with plenty of bass on them. But i can not seem to coax them into biting. The school is typically down about 15 - 20 feet. I've been trying deep driving crank baits, drop shots and jigs to get down to their depth. No one seems interested in my offerings and im guessing its because there pretty keyed in on the alewives and my big crank baits are not of the right size etc. Any ideas on how to get something in front of them? Any advice is appreciated, as im sure you all know there is not much more frustrating than finding fish but not being able to hook up.
