Fishing a small derby this weekend. Wondering if any of you guys had any reports or tips.

Went down at the last minute this past week. Got to fish about 2 hours Thursday night, 6 on Friday, and about 3 1/2 before heading home on Saturday. Spent most of my time in Long Creek. I didn't fish on the main lake much - instead went to the back halves of the creeks and fished channel swings. Caught a lot of aggressive Kentucky's, mostly on spinnerbaits (though also on a Wiggle Wart and craw tubes).
I did catch a 5 pound largemouth on Thursday night on a ledge in about 10' of water. Hit an Omega Jig (only fish on a jig the whole trip). Caught a couple of fat Kentucky's as well on the trip (spinnerbaits on the same ledge, on a flat secondary point, and a football jig in 16' of water on a main lake point).
Water temps were anywhere from 50 to 56. Put in all three days at the State Park where the water was clear. Ran down to the state line Saturday and had about 6" of visibility (after Friday afternoon's rain). The water in Big Cedar was brown Thursday but had cleared a lot by Saturday morning.
This was only the second time I've been on Table Rock and had never fished anything but Beardsley in this arm. Ended up doing a lot of running around checking spots. There were a lot of boats up Long Creek Saturday morning
Prefished yesterday up the white and mid lake area. Had a phenomenal day as far as quantity goes. Probably caught 60 fish with 15 keepers no real big fish.
