Fishing is still tough as the fish are staying schooled up in the grass which got covered as the lake became full.  Last October the lake was at 68% when we started our season and continued to fall until it reached about 21% in July.  Vegetation had plenty of time to grow while the lake was so low.  Dipping or spraying the tails of the plastic baits (lizards, Sekos, flukes) and swim baits seems to attract the bass.
