It's hard to pattern the fish there because the temperature swings so much, you can fish on a Saturday and the water be near 80, go back after a good rain and it be in the mid 60's... That being said I've more 5+lb fish this year out of there than anywhere else this year, mostly on rattle traps in the pre/post spawn. Topwater, they don't seem to like clackers as much as the rest of the world and they seem to like it slow, when all else fails throw a watermelon red flake stick worm with the tip of his tail dyed with the chartreuse garlic stuff. Rattle traps, more blue than chrome and make sure it hitting every rock it passes over. Jigs, black/blue is your friend when they'll hit it. Good luck.
