If a crank isn't running into stuff generally speaking you are using the wrong depth of a crank for the area you are fishing in... How it goes. You need to be banging it around digging up the bottom, bouncing off branches, etc. If you are in shallow and afraid of loosing stuff switch to something more snagless like a Spinnerbait. I get snagged here and there but usually get my cranks back eventually by getting to the snagged item and going into battle.
There is less Stripers in this specific area if that is what you are looking for as far as I remember. At least the few times I have been in that exact area in the boat. I try not to fish or get around areas shore fisherman can get to so don't fish too close to Stewarts.
Swimbait wise I like them on the smaller side. Like 3.5" Hollow Bellies (Yum Money Minnows).
All the normal stuff works... Drop shots, senkos, jiggs, etc, etc.
I am heading out to the lake tomorrow AM so seeing as how it is Friday and there should be less people around I might cruise on over to the areas accessable by small boat/shore fishing and see what there is to see.
