I would be on the east side for sure. Many of the points/bars in the mouths are holding fish, just not many big ones. Carolina rigs and texas rigged creature baits caught plenty of fish for us. The bigger fish seemed to be with the balls of shad in the shallows near vegetation. They were difficult to target, but if you were around when they started busting the shad, a fluke/spinnerbait/rattletrap would catch them. When they werten't busting the shad, the surrounding gravel banks and points seemed to work. Spinnerbaits if the points had weeds, and rigs if they didn't. Don't hesitate to throw the rig in very shallow water (which I had never done before). It produced our biggest fish. We had one nice fish on a sammy on top of a channel drop on the main lake. If you have a run of drops you are familiar with, it could get you a nice limit fishing the the shallow water on top of them. As you have seen everyone else mention, be careful and know where you are running. It would not be difficult to run aground in the middle of the lake.
