Going to Dale Wed...need some help!

My buddy and I are heading down wed. and would love to have some advice on how to catch some of those smallies everyone posts on here. We're not against live bait, but we never have tried it at Dale. We wouldn't know what to do if we did use it. Anyways, we were wondering if its time for the f-n-f, or dragging big jigs deep, throwing an A-rig on bluffs... what would be the best way to go about it. We're just wanting a good day catching instead of just a good day fishing. If I just wanted to go fish and not catch, I'd stop at Cumberland. Lol. Any info would be appreciated and I will post how we do down there. Thanks
