If the water at Big Bone looks anything like the water in Louisville it will be a challenge. I would start with the oxbow areas near the dam(Craigs Creek area) and put the trolling motor on slow. Make multiple pitches to each area. The other things it to try going as far back in the creeks as possible and look for some cleaner water. I have had decent sucess as a co angler in the BFL fishing the river when it is up and muddy by using these same methods. Be patient and make sure to hook and land every bite you get because there probably wont be many. I would be using floro or braid to feel the bites even better. You will also need to detirmine if the fish are holding to the new bank or the original bank. If the water is rising they usually move up but if it is dropping the could pull off to the original bank. Fish your lures all the way back to the boat.Good luck!!!
