We would drive over to Lake Roosevelt and fish anywhere we could from the bank. There was some pretty good bank access up by Hunter/Daisy right off the road. I rigged up a nightcrawler and weight and would chuck it out there for walleye, then sit and relax. We always did very well.
Porcipine Bay On the Spokane Arm has some good access, but I have never actually fished it though.
If you want to catch some smallmouth bass, anywhere on Roosevelt will work, encluding the spots where you are plunking for walleye. I would recommend using a leadheaded jig with a 3" brown curly tail grub. This is deadly, just cast, let hit bottom, slowly jig back. This is my wifes favorite lure, she'll either jig it off the bottom or cast and real it like a crankbait.
If you ever plan on going over to Banks Lake, let me know. I should be able to send you in the right direction from land or boat. I kept 6 years worth of fishing logs that I made for myself from fishing that lake and I keep them with me in my locker here at work. I'm not shy on sharing information, because fishing is just plain fun for everyone.
