Any stump, any downed tree. If it's a big tree, quietly work the outside and a couple of feet into it. Once you've caught the ones hangin around the edge, belly up to the brush, QUIETLY. Start Jiggin any interior area you can hit. This is called "Doodlesocking". Do this up a creek, or shallows off mud flats. Hit EVERY stick, stub, stump you see. You should come out with one of the best days fishing you have ever had. Early morning, 3 a.m. to around 9 a.m. will be your best times.
