lakeview on the tenn/miss state line

I fished lakeview for the first time today with a few friends. I caught 4 small bass on a spinner bait in the cypress trees in about 3ft of water. I wasnt able to figure out a good patten to catch fish, i think the ones i caught were just lucky casts. The lake is an old oxbow off the mississippi river so the bottom is mostly flat. I dont have any experience with this type of lake, its real shallow in the trees with no steep dropoffs (that i could find). Any suggestions on how to fish this place? If you need more info let me know.
