Hey guys. I went fishing the other day and caught 3 bass and lost 2 near the shore. I caught them extremely shallow. Less than a foot of water. I was wondering if they were eating the spawning bluegill or shad. Or were they just chilling in the shallows. Btw these bass are postspawn. All skinny thin fish. Still fun. These are some dumb questions but I just really wonder what they were doing. Btw I caught them on orange and brown jigs with craw trailer.

Thanks for all the info

Hard to say, but guarding fry would be on my short list of guesses.
