How to fish deep and clear lakes

I am fishing for college and I travel a lot for fishing. I am having a hard time on deep clear lakes. One lake for an example is Herrington Lake. I am used to the Tennessee River and Herrington is nothing like it. I know that during the summer all lakes are pretty much the same as where bass go but I haven't had much luck finding fish on main lake points on Herrington. Can I still fish deep points and ledges like I do on Kentucky Lake just on a different scale since it is a lot deeper?

Thanks,
Zak
