Fishing the rising water on KY Lake

Hey guys, first time posting to the forum. i have been having some good luck fishing stake beds for the last 3 weeks, now that the water is on the rise, would it be best to move my fishing to the flooded areas, such as flooded trees, buck brush, and other bushes? if so how is the best way to fish these? I have been pitching a bobber and minnow on the stake beds, is that a good approach, or should i use a longer pole and jig the flooded brush? Also, how far back into the brush do the crappie generally go? thanks in advance for any pointers or tips. good luck and safe fishing to everyone
