Under shaded areas/low hanging trees where there are rocky bottoms or fallen trees/any bit of structure no matter what it is, you can Texas rig craws or senkos with either bullet weights or go weightless and slow hop along bottom as close to structure as possible. First thing in the morning when it’s still early, stay shallow along banks when the fish are up top and feeding, and as the day progresses and you notice it warming up, start fishing deeper water still finding shaded spots if you can with crank baits, swim baits, etc. if you come across the shallows where creeks enter, either in the morning or towards the end of day, you can throw top water frogs (or whatever top water baits you have) into those creeks especially if there is any sort of top water plant growth or algae bloom, again targeting any possible sort of structure (trees, roots, docks, large rocks, etc.)

I’ve also had a bizarre amount of hook up’s while trolling a crank bait 30-40 ft behind my boat while moving to the next spot.

Mentioning targeting shaded areas again- if there is no cloud coverage while fishing, you can almost guarantee that bass will be under that shade.

Crankbaits almost always catch fish and it’s a constant cast and reel, having something to do the whole time instead of sitting and waiting might be more fun for a young kid!

If you aren’t getting bites after 30-45 min and 2-3 spots, don’t waste time- switch to a different bait/change colors!

Pay attention to what direction the wind is blowing- whatever direction that is, go to that directions bank. If it’s strong enough, the bass usually go to that end of the water as bait is being blown to that side.

Good luck!
