bass fishing during trout season

[BassKnuckles]

hello to all,

i live in southern California and fish at a local lake that is only about a mile in length and a couple hundred yards wide. the lake is surrounded by houses which means that cover is mostly boat docks except for one side of the lake that is a slope of rocks that come down into the lake and offer some cover along that side of the lake. the water is well maintained and visibility is nice and clear.
hopefully this info can help you, help me, with the following sotuation...
...the lake is loaded with thousands of pounds of trout this time of year and my question is: how does this affect the bass fishing?
do the bass change their eating habits during the months in which the trout are in the lake?
any tips of any kind would be greatly appreciated regarding: effective baits, time of day (or night) to fish, deep or shallow water, and any other changes in fishing strategy that might prove to be beneficial in these circumstances.
any information that might help would be real nice!

i need spawning season to get here soon...

thank you for all your help. enlighten me with all your great bass fishing wisdom! see-ya
