Air Temp had dropped the last week to mid 60s. No instruments to tell me water temp.

Hydrilla still around 3ft-6ft depth. Creek channel probably 6-15 ft deep.

Stained water 1 foot visibility maximum

 

They're not by the wood near the bank or hitting spinnerbaits above the hydrilla.

2 90 degree bends in this particular creek. 

Are they in the channel?

Muddy, silty bottom mostly except some rock in those bends(outside wall on both bends)

And the water level has dropped a foot in the last month.

 What would you be throwing and where?

The creek is dammed up 20 acre lake 5 ft deep. Then 2 miles of fishable creek.

Rip a bladed jig through the hydrilla.

If the lake has a shad population that is the basses primary food source during the summer to fall transition. Locate the shad schools the will be there at the same depth.

Shad colored spinnerbait is the traditional lure for this seasonal period if the shad are between 1’ to 6’ deep. Deeper bait requires running deeper lures that are shad imitators like spoons, tail and under blades or bladed jigs.
