Topwater and spinnerbaits have been working lately. Use a topwater you can pause like a rapala skitter or any type chugger. I had a buddy not having much luck on buzz bait, but he changed to topwater that he could sit and managed several bass.
On a side note, I grew up on Percy Priest lake and have been fishing it 20+ years. I'm not a tourney fisherman but I managed bass here and there. I've started fishing OH the past couple of years and have caught more and bigger bass at Hickory than I ever have at Priest. I believe there's simply more quality bass at Hickory. It's a little more of a drive for me and I catch grief from the wife because of the gas, but it's worth it to me. My opinion, if you're an amateur bass fisherman, OH is the place to go. Just make sure you have a GPS or good mapping. It's not a lake you want to wander around on if you're not familiar with. You can go from 60ft to 2ft in seconds.
