Baits To Use Early Morning In Fall

Was out up here this weekend water temp in the 43 to 46 range. Didn't catch tons of fish, but I caught them on both a crankbait and jerkbait. Very slow retrieves with the crankbait, and fairly long pauses with the jerkbait. The lake I fish in the fall has too much cover for a blade bait unfortunately, but I've been tempted to buy one and try it off the edge of the flats I've been fishing. Most bites have been coming after coming in contact with cover and then letting the baits sit right there.
