Long lake turnover & heavy algae content in water

Our lake started turning over and then it stalled due to warmer weather.  Now we have cool nights & warm days which is making this turnover process longer than usual.  The water supply has smelled fishy for a month now.  The lake water heavily smells of fish too in certain areas.

Lake Conditions:

- blue bird skies, wind @ 7mph, barometric pressure @30.17 & steady for 24 hours, high pressure moved through with rain 3 days prior (third day after rain theory)

- water surface temp at 78, air temp low 60's that morning and high of 82

- light breeze as sun rose more that morning

- bass chasing shad and biting on top (not schooling shad, individual baitfish)

- water extremely green (emerald green) and algae chunks floating about halfway in the water column in 30ft (fish finder read it as large schools of fish if using Fish ID)

- lake turning over in isolated areas of the lake

- reservoir lake

- lower end of lake toward the dam is clear and not as green but has deeper water & more wind exposure (more oxygen)

- upper river end has more algae content and less oxygen but more fish can be found (why?)

- fish are not concentrated & scattered in clear water and more concentrated in the "transitional" water (half green/half clear) & and in isolated coves

This weekend, I couldn't buy a bite if it were on a blue-light special clearance rack for a dollar!  I reeled in my jig really fast because of a bad cast and I had a small bass chasing it.  This told me the fish wanted a super fast action but why I didn't pick up on that immediately, I don't know.  In my mind, slow and small was the way to go because the lake is turning over.  My partner's boat motor was having "issues" so we had to call our trip short.  Between two of us trying various topwater baits, jigs, plastics, rattletraps, buzzbaits, etc, we never caught a fish in this one cove even though we knew they were there.  My partner threw a zara puppy next to a tree and seconds after it hit the water, three bass jumped at it.  We think there mouths were closed and it looked like they were head-butting it instead of eating it.  All three jumped up out of the water to hit it.  Odd right?  One of them looked like a seal or dolphin trying to hit a ball at SeaWorld.

So I never tried a spoon and I didn't have enough confidence in a spinnerbait.  I threw two a few times but felt the water was too clear for it.  You could see the gold blades flash 8ft below and 20 yards away.  "Too flashy" I thought.  I think I could have thrown a spoon with a white grub trailer and burned it as fast as I could reel and I would have caught something.  They seem to be chasing shad and it was opposite of what they have been doing.....eating an easy target.  I plan on going back one afternoon this week after work.  Fall is supposed to be the time to fish creek-fed coves for more oxygen enriched water and shad.  I am finding them in algae invested waters chasing shad selectively....Not schools.

My new idea is to burn a spoon, use hard jerkbaits with a fast erratic retrieve, chatterbait (I'm desperate) and burning shallow water cranks (2-4ft divers) over 20-30ft water with tree structure.

Any suggestions?
