The hydrilla will also be my first target. In addition to your plan, I will do 2 things.
1) small profile spinnerbait, 1/4 short arm, tandem willow, in white or shad color.
2) 4" Senko in smoke with purple laminate ( 927), weightless or if you need, split-shot with 1/32-1/16. This works for me very well in clear waters, it has a clear belly on a bluish darker back, make him look like bait fish when he is falling down.
