Spinnerbaits can be a fantastic search bait. Head to the lake on a windy day (windy+spinnerbait=success). Start covering water and cast that spinnerbait at every piece of cover you see; rocks, trees, bushes, ledges, etc. Don't stop casting! Don't even bring another bait to the lake with you. Just your spinnerbait box.
Vary your retrieve. It's warm out, so fish fairly fast, but random pauses, jerks and sweeps are a necessary part of every cast. Make that skirt dance.
Add a trailer hook. You get lots of short strikes with a spinnerbait, and trailer hooks are very important. Don't worry about adding a plastic trailer.

Keep it simple.
And don't give up.
