Looking for Bass catching advice for bank fishing in the late fall

We used to have a tradition of sneaking out on Thanksgiving and hitting the bank on one of the small lakes nearby…..virtually every time the winner of the day was lipless cranks. My number one for the bank was (and still is) a gold/black Cordell Spot.

If you're in the NE, use https://webapp.navionics.com/ in conjunction with google maps to find deeper water that you can access with a cast from the bank.  I really like a 1/2oz blade bait, tail spinner, and a 3/8oz finesse hair jig as cold water baits.  Hop the metal ones and drag the hair.  First light and late afternoon warming trends are my favorite times, but I'll go whenever I can.

Is there current, weeds, rock bottom or just water.
