Found areas that held multiple fish that had grass with some rocks mixed in. Worked a jackhammer super slow bumping the bottom and ripping it out of weeds to get reaction bite. Also skipping Outkast Cage Feider jig under docks and lifts produced some bites.

Fish are moving shallow, try to find areas where they are coming out of deep water with a little bit of grass on it. I had better luck in dirtier water with moving baits, so I tried to keep my colors darker but still keeping it natural looking.
