Yesterday I did well in the back of small pockets on the windy side of the lake. Tossin' jig and pig up in the junk in the very backs. Don't know if that'll hold for today but good luck.
Lake is warming so fast that I would try spinner baits to locate fish and then cranks and worms. Mid creek to main lake points. Some fish have spawned but others will most likely spawn on this next full moon. (Small Number)
Bluegill will be spawning on the full moon around the 12th of the month. Crankbaits should work well then, and you may snag a couple of channel cats during that period as well as a blue.

If you are still on the water around 10:30 CST, go check the bank on the dam side of the Hogback. Bait has been coming up real good and the hybrids are following. You will hear bait working everywhere, but listen for loud "pops" or "whoosh"... that will be the hybrids. Start with topwaters such as Spooks, poppers, or Red Fins. If no topwater bite, back off and throw cranks that dive 6'-8'. Set your drags loose or they will pop your line. Good luck.
