I was there last Sunday for about 3 hours in Little Patoka ...most of the lake lice (recreational boaters) are gone for the year. Water temp was right at 69-70 degrees. Lake level is getting lower...I thought the rains would have raised it a little they must be drawing as it is lower than it was 2 weeks ago.
I boated 3 in the coves on lay downs with plastics....1 short strike on a spinner....1 swirl at a popper....all were between 12 and 15 inches.
Good luck!
