You dont need a dept finder to catch fish up there... patterns right now have been topwater plugs early or spooks, medium diving cranks, carolina rigs, t rigged brush hogs, jigs. Looks like you will be around Boones Pt.. follow the boat lane heading west directly across from there (second dotted line south). Fish south of the boat lane a few yards starting at the intersection and working your way west. There are several ridges off of the river (dotted lines you see on the map). You will see a few boats out there now. Otherwise you can head to Arnolds Cove (which is the cove directly EAST of boones crossing) and start in the pockets working your way into the main lake... its pretty much 10-15 feet throughout that whole area. Look for grassline off the main shore... there are several.
Right now is transition into fall patterns.... crankbaits, carolina rigs, etc should be picking up with the cool fronts and moon we just had. I caught the majority of bass a week ago in 10-15 ft of water along grasslines.
If you head due west you will find yourself at Harpers ridge (Texas Side)... the area just south of harpers is Indian Mounds. Can be great fishing this time of year. Find grass... find grass. find grass. Did i emphasize GRASS... you can see it 3 ft under the water... when you find it look for where it stops. fish along the edges working back n forth. Hydrilla only grows in up to 17-20 ft of water... after that it becomes very sparse.
