from my experience in the spring there, i tend to do great in the bigger bays. i have been going there about this same time for years now. the topwater bite will be there strong anytime. my buddy is there now and has had a few on a buzzbait, but nothing consistent yet. last year we caught 90% of our fish for the week on a buzzbait. then again, i love topwater also. go as far back in the creeks and bays u can. if there is 6 inches of water, through a buzz through it. this all depends if the fish have moved up yet.
