We got into them spawning this year on the Tennessee river below wilson Dam in 6inches to three feet of water. There were atleast two hundred long nose ranging from 3 feet to 5 or six. We cause them on frayed nylon about 8 inches long twitching it like a fluke in front of them. Tie a barrel swivel to the nylon with a zip tie and double over the nylon then fray it. They are a blast to catch. Even had two of our reels broken by them. They are an amazing fish who makes a largemouth look feel like an angry shad. an from what I hear taste really good. We didn't have a cooler long enough to keep any or I would have. You can find how to clean them in YouTube.
