At the Corp landing during spawn the cove there can give up some plus going behind the marina you can fish it in a small craft, find the road and where the bridge was and it can be pretty good. Pine Springs, go north and around the point can be good at times plus go into the emergency spillway and fish the rocks, always had better luck on the east side. Plus in spring the brim, not large, usually spawn at the back end of the rocks, both sides. Brim also spawn on the rocks at the causeway, had better luck above the road. When you say splashdown I'm guessing
you are talking about the Pat Harrison ramp, in that cove there I would say only good in the spawn as well as the 2 small coves south of there. just too shallow most of the time. During high water all bets are off, have caught fish around the shower building or the west side when the water was very high.
