If anybody has a report or any recommendations, I'd really appreciate it.
I am like bevo one of my favorite places to fish too. The 5" swim-bait that bevo suggested, but don't forget...lead head jig and curly tails, in-line spinners. If that don't yield anything you could try this has worked for me. Tie a jerk bait or swimming minnow about three feet up your line and tie a bottom weight on, BUT TIE IT ON WITH 6 to 8 lb. line the weight will hang but when you catch a fish the brake-away sinker will let the fish go where you can land it.

God bless and good fishing
