I would recommend you use two different presentations. One for the open, deeper water in the dam area where the average depth is 5-7′. There I would suggest you either twitch a Rapala Husky Jerk #11 or a Rapala X-Rap, or cast a Vibrax #2 spinner, or 1/4 oz. spinnerbait in the open pockets. There you have a 50/50 chance of catching either bass or pikee. The other presentation for largemouth will need to be weedless fishing the shallower area around the bridge which includes heavier weeds & stumps. There you can fish Texas-rigged 6 or 7″ plastic worms, a weedless surface frog, a weedless spoon, or a Texas-rigged soft-plastic minnow (unweighted).
