What should i fish in sprng in a lake fishing 1-9 feet of semi clear water with sparce to medium thickness in veggitation..? should i try shallower or deeper sides of the water and with what lures/baits?

Define "Spring". What I'd use would depend on water temps.

Should I try shallower or deeper? Yes

With what lures/baits? All of them

For a great starting point, Search Bass Resource or Google "The Cosmic Clock and Bass Behavior" by Tom Young (a.k.a. WRB here at Bass Resource).

My baits for that situation. Keitech 4.8 fat a Arkie or grass jig, and a Texas rigged craw or lizard.
