Typically this time of year, the winning bags come from the upper end of the lake and fishing extremely shallow---rattletraps and shad raps. I got wooped up on there a couple of years ago this time of year---March, and that's where people were catching them. They told me later, that you could see the mud trail your rattletrap was leaving, you were at the perfect depth. I believe they were using the smaller 1/4 oz version.
I think chrome/blue,chrome/black and maybe even gold.
Be extremely careful in the upper end----very shallow areas that are not marked---I know I tore up a lower unit really really bad. I hit a small rock pile in the middle of a bay that looked to be a decent depth, but in fact was only about 2 foot or less. No markers, or nothing there to tell you where the shallows are. Or at least there wasn't about 3 years ago.
Of course the water level was down to winter pool too. I don't know where its' at right now.
Good luck if you go.
