In the spring, I do like FishNate says. Wait for a 3 or 4 day warming trend between spring storms (nice sunny, warm days with little wind) and hit the areas most likely to have the warmest water on the afternoon or midday of the last day.
That's usually the shallows of flooded trees surropunding the lake, the flats with mats near the SE corner parking, etc. It can be hard to work out a technique up in the crowded trees, and you may lose a little tackle. Senkos, dropshots with gulp minnows, weedless swimbaits, stuff like that can work, stuff that doesn't rely on a long retrieve for action. A canoe, kayak, or waders can help, too.
