Since you have read the threads I assume you have read mine below but I will add more detail so maybe you can get that son of yours on some fish. I rarely throw crankbaits or spinner bait . I lke to feel where I am fishing, know when I hit a rock, stump or brushpile so I usually fish Texas rigged worms, and sometinme Carolina rigs on points. I can feel what I am fishing on and when I am coming over a limb or a stump or bump a rock. When I feel these I will usually let the worm drop or just lay for a few seconds. I have done this type fishing so long I can feel when a fish pulls my worm off the hook. I use Gr.Pumpkin Gr. Zoom U-tail worms and Kudzu, but have had more success on Gr.Pumpkin Gr. this year. These may be a little hard to find so I am including al ink where you can get Zoom Products [http://www.orderoutdoors.com/zoom.htm] I get Spike-It Chartruse dip& glow either in the Garlic scented or the crawfish scented and dip about 1 inch of the tail. I also place my worms in a plastic tupperware container and pour Garlic juice or Garlic scent over them and let them soak . Now for places to fish, I like Sandy Crek best because there are more docks,but Manoy is good and so is Madwind and Sturdyvant. Blue Creek is good but is usually heavy with boat traffic this time of year so I will only fish it in the winter. I usually put in close to where I am going to fish and don't run all over the place. I will get on a line of docks and work all around each one. The ones with the lights will uaually have brush piles and I work thru these. When I get to a point I will Carolina rig this a few time but if I can see brush I will throw the Texas rig in it. You will hang up somtime but if you don't fish where the fish are you won't catch any. I hope this helps, by the way I fished Friday and it was tough with the gail force winds and it seemed the fish had backed off the shallows and were in deeper water. The bad weather we had the other day pobably had something to do with this. I only caught 8 where I have been catching 15 or 20 per trip. The water temperature is still good so they will probably move back up. Good Fishing to you
