I've always had decent luck throwing crankbaits parallel to the steep banks & cliff walls ... out over the 15-20ft depth range. Also throw a 4" craw (texas rigged) and work it down to 20' or so. Usually have already done this by mid June, but health problems have kept me off the water since May. July night fishing always seemed to be a bit slower, and the fish would be deeper ... but, that don't always happen that way. And, yes ... I'm talking about fishing on Herrington Lake.
If those baits/methods don't work ... I'm not opposed to rip jigging a Silver Buddy in/around the dock lights (the big halogen ones that are just above the water's surface), trying to hook up with a Hybrid Striper or two.
Some of my more productive cranks are : Luhr Jensen Hot Lipps ... 7A & 8A Bomber Model A ... Heddon Hellbender ... Wiggle Wart
... pappy
