I've never fished it but if I was looking to hit it this spring, I would head to the west or nwest side of the lake and hit the shallow areas there or the warmest sections I could find in the lake, find any structure and stick to fishing that. Depending on the water & air temp, any wood sticking out or exposed to sunlight will absorb heat and in reality heat that water a tad warmer out maybe 6 inches from it, depending on the cloud cover those bass should be around it somewhere. Use a slow moving bait like a jig with a rattle or worm, the bass will probably be lethargic and won't hit it unless it's in their face or a slow presentation. Thats what I'd be doing along with the norm tied on crankbait, spinnerbait (1/8 to 1/4) and possibly some type of finesse like a wacky rig or a Carolina rigged with something that would float off the bottom. Slow is the key, hope that points you in the right direction.
