I know this will go against the purists beliefs but you might consider using live bait to locate fish and then find artificials that will catch them. I had a frustrating guided trip on lake fork a few years ago and the guide finally pulled out a cooler with live waterdogs. We nose hooked them on a split shot rig and pitched them around seed beds and cover. We fished them alot like a jig but left them in place longer. That saved the trip and we caught some nice fish. This has worked for me on tablerock also. You can drop shot a live minnow to deep brush and catch lots of kentucky bass. I definitely prefer artificials but sometimes bait can save the day. Don't lose that girl or you might become a master baiter lol
