Shelf/Slate Rock

Most of my fishing is done on the Coosa River on either Lay Lake or Lake Mitchell. The other day we were out on the boat and as we were driving down the lake we noticed that most of the bass boats we saw were not fishing the grass as usual but instead were fishing sharp dropoff banks with large flat rocks that are about 3-6 inches thick and cover the bottom. The banks drop off fairly fast, about 50 feet from the bank we were in 19 ft.  

Sorry i tend to type alot but what im getting at is what do yall usually use on these types of places? I fish at Smith Lake quite a bit and all we use are shaky heads fishing for spots over the slot. but as we were fishing, I caught one fish on a shaky head and my dad caught 2 on a large double willow spinnerbait. What would yall use?

I fish the same type of area between lake jordan dam and the alabama river.  We have had good luck on t-rig ol monsters, mag IIs,  and medium cranks.

Go get them spots  8-)
