The deal I found in practice was don’t get hung up in one area. Now at the time of this outing two hurricanes came through and the lake looked like a bottle of Nesquik. So, finding pockets with cleaner water helped. I would catch one on one stretch and then keep going and may catch another two pockets over. There’s a ton of grass subsurface so put your trolling motor on 6 and cover water.

Bluff walls & backs of creeks. Turn trolling motor up, take topwater and just cover water. Fish your targets lay downs, rock , transitions banks. If you find a spot holding fish you can slow down and pitch laydowns and docks. Bite is tough just have to cover water to catch numbers. Hopefully with the cooler nights the bite will get better.
