Shane is right on...Monroe can be awesome or humbling. With this warm trend i would fish shallow bays and points with wood or riprap. Wind blown banks are great this time of year too. I know some guys have been catching fish on deeper laydowns with soft plastics and cranks. If I was going this weekend i would throw lipless cranks in 2-8 ft of water and deeper cranks from 8-12 ft. Jigs in standing timber could be effective if its bright and sunny. You've gotta find the bait....then you'll find the bass and stripers! Good luck.....let us know how you do.
