Looking for some advise on Spruce Run

[Sleeper-6]

OK, Right off the bat, Don't tell me live bait.

I've been out there just about every weekend this year targeting Large Mouth. So far the producers for me have been soft swimbaits and Senko style stuff.

I've been fishing early mornings into the day, mostly the north west coves along the banks with some success. Only a few fish per trip. Tried the deeper creek channels and came up blank.

Apparently I'm a hard bait idiot. Squarebills, Lipless cranks, and Spinnerbaits, and Jigs, have all produced nothing for me. Going to try early AM topwater next.

What has worked for you there?
