I do on occasion when the river is in bad shape. I have had moderate success. The best fishing I have found is up on the North end of the lake around Misty Harbor. It's a lot more shallow up on that end. I've caught a few in Lick creek, Coon creek, Rock creek and White oak. The holes are so far apart I spend more in gas than it's worth to go. Give it a shot, you could be better at it than me. You might catch a bunch.
