I was just thinking as I read your post Buc that man there are a bunch of ways to fish Old Hickory. That sounds like good game plan.

For me this time of year I am fishing pockets too but staying mainly in big creeks that feed the lake. Not really looking for big pockets either just ones in the right places. Also, like to fish a lot ditches or small creeks that feed the bigger creeks. About mid to end May, I am night fishing thru October. Then, it is big chunk rock banks, main river ledges and long points with gravel flats. I will almost always not matter what time of the year stop and fish bluffs where they change composition.

On all those places I will throw various colored rapalas shallow or deep depending on situation, big worms, jigs and shaky heads. Night time I'll add a big thumpin spinnerbait.
