do you have points in the main lake area? If so, Ive found that when they wont cooperate, try a 6 inch carolina rigged lizard, or use a 7.5 inch carolina rigged ribbontail worm. we have a lot of tourneys here on gville and sometimes that is the way we catch them during our club tourneys.

near us in SC the fish dont bed untill the water is about 60-64 .... might want to throw a jig near rock in about 8-10 ft of water... i caught a 6lber doin that in that water temp a month ago

Sounds like you got a prespawn condition. I would fish shallow with reaction lures like spinnerbaits or rat-l-traps, if that didnt produce any females I would back off to the first deep water and slow down with jigs and t-rigged lizards to try to catch a female thats waiting for the water to warm. Here spawn usually starts around 63,64 degrees.
