shell bars and drop offs are usually your best bet, but they are an off and on type deal. you really have to fish them a lot to nail them down.... tides and wind really affect this part of the river. one of my most solid patterns up there are docks. find the docks with the deepest water during a moving tide... in or out... and pitch a senko or something like that as far underneath it as you can... hold on because some bigguns live under there... hope this helps...
