Sassy Shads are a versatile bait, taking a variety of species. Mann's Little George are used in a variety of colors and sizes. Spinnerbaits can be slow-rolled through the rocks to catch bass. One trick I have found helpful is to wear chest waders and wade out just far enough to cast parallel to the shore and present baits parallel to the rock cover. Live bluegill caught out of the lake are successfully used to catch large flathead catfish from the hotwater discharge.
Most live bait is fished on a theme and variation of the Carolina rig known to bass fishermen.
