Do not overlook the dams at this time of year. They are solid producers of both bass and eyeballs. I usually use an #8 X-rap in natural and bright colors. I go for half hour with each to determine what color they want. The main lake and south pool is where I mainly fish. This time of year the fish could be out from the shoreline and I use lipless stuff and cast out into the lake in deeper water and bring in pretty fast with some pauses if nothing is taking a steady retrieve. Also not a whole lot of structure in the lake so fish can become spread out. The south pool has the mouth of Salt Creek on the north side and as you go south past the boat launches in the south pool the east shoreline has a nice drop off near shore with rock on the bottom just north of the small dam. Rip rap with cranks is also a good bet but you may loose some so be careful with those 9.00 Rapala's. Good Luck.
