Try white or chart grubs and 2-3" sassy shads (shad color) on light tackle in the mid creek area. You should find some smallies and you may even hook into a killer striper or two. Be really careful if you nail a striper. They can open or close a small hook in a split second. But landing them can be done as I and people on my boat have done it many times.

You can also up size to a 1/2 oz bucktail jig. Smallies will hit those too this time of year. Use a smaller trailer than normal.
