Depending on how recent you have been fishing it, the water has been kind of messed up with generation and holding water.
Usually this time of year with "normal" conditions you can find fish from up lake to the Dam in all stages of spawn from pre to post. I haven't been recent enough to be on top of them right now. Based on history the creeks should be doing pretty well. Pick a big one that feeds the main lake and fish it top to bottom. You will find the fish.
Shaky's are a good bait there. There is no real depth they don't excel at. I would not limit yourself to just that though. Chart/white spinnerbaits, big worms and cranks all have a role too. With bluegill getting ready to spawn or some may be on, I would definitely have a gill swimbait or a chartruse jig to swim around those shallow silty bottoms.
