When fishing any highland reservoir this time of year, be sure to find a place where the main river channel pushes against the bank creating a steep bluff wall with a mixture of rocks and boulders. What we found successfully was targeting the 45 to 60 degree angle bluff banks with crankbaits and jigs. The cranks had to have either blue or red mixed in. The jigs worked better at the points of the bluffs by dragging or barely hopping off the bottom paired with a twin tail grub as a trailer.

All the way up in the creeks on the upper arms of bennets bayou. You can catch 50 to 100 pan fish in a couple of hours. Throwing a variety of rebel teeny wee craws and poppers. Throw anywhere close to big boulders that are submerged in the creek and you should catch a panfish or small bass.
