55-60 degree water temp hard spot question

[GoneFishingLTN]

The above is my current water temps, I found a quick drop off sorta like you would along a dam, it does not come to a point just goes from shallow to deep in a sharp drop like near a dam. The hard spot goes out to 15 foot of water BUT there are no rock piles it is just a hard bottom does this spot have potential in the spring time of the year? 

Do you want to not fish it unless it has one more ingredient like a brush pile or rock pile on top of the hard spot?

Only way to find out is fish it

It sounds potentially promising.

The drop itself, IMO, without irregularities isn't worth wasting time on.  The structure itself may attract fish, but without cover, either on top, or at the base, there is nothing to keep them there. The one exception would be baitfish suspended off the drop.  You didn't mention how deep the shallow side of the drop is and you wrote that there is hard bottom that goes out to 15ft., but is that hard bottom on the shallow side, the drop itself, or at the base?

If there is any cover on the shallow side, the drop offers deep water access which is always a plus. The fish themselves may suspend out from the edge of the drop, but suspended fish are tough to catch. If you do find them suspended, come back to the area two or three times during the day. If you can't find them suspending, they've moved, but they haven't moved far, and likely their mood has changed from inactive to neutral or active.

All this is relative to the post spawn/summer season.

If the dropoff has cover like grass or vegetation near the top, or at the bottom, I would fish along the edge of that.
