I fish the same all the areas you described but with much less success! I have been playing with football head jigs in deeper water when the wind will allow.

Try searching for fish with smaller sized baits that cover alot of water (C rigged fry or centipede, shaky head worm, deep crank, or texas rigs) depending on the area and structure you are fishing ... Jigs arent much of a "fish finder" for me. If i know they are in an area i will cast em a few times for bigger fish. 90% of the fish i opened up had small threadfin shad in their bellies... hope that helps you some.

Key for me has been to find hydrilla edges next to steep drop offs. It becomes sparse around 17 ft. Bass are keying into the grasslines esp if there are stumps or some kind of structure in depths around 25 ft next to these edges.
