So do you plan to target the green fish or the brown ones?
East Basin or the West Basin?
I've used a pretty wide variety of baits over the years. Topwaters, crankbaits, worms, tubes, and grubs, they all work at certain times.
Like a lot of other lakes, its more important to find the fish than to find something they'll bite. The East Basin has the most diversity from rocky islands, to deeper weedbeds, to productive dock fishing patterns. Once you have figured out what the fish are staging on, it is fairly easy to find a number of areas with similar cover. The West Basin is much shallower but still holds fish on slightly deeper weedbeds, the rice beds, docks and channels. At times, the sandsucker hole will attract fish as well. I've always found fishing the west side means covering a lot of water until you find a productive area as so much of it looks exactly the same on the map.
BTW, whatever baits you want to fish, I'd suggest something in green or brown. Motor Oil was always a good flavor.
