yea bass fishing up there tends to be tough, the bass are picky. if you look at the tournament weights, 9-10 lbs wins it, which tells you something. i usually fish up there for striper and crappie mostly. going up the creeks tends to only be successful before summer hits in. once it does, the bass don't shoot back up to far. they tend to stay at the mouths and feed on the baitfish in about 10-15 ft.
