Hey Blake, Flat lake and Lake Martin are good but shallow. You can get away from the river traffic there. A fly rod and popping bug works great for the bream.
I like fishing the boat docks on the diversion canal. Try the no wake portions. The Petite Amite holds some bigger fish. Blind river is another area that you could try. CDC member "choupique" fishes the Blind river area and reports in here. Do a search for his reports.
