you know timber hopping is quite popular in this area this time of year , do you have any lakes close by with timber in water around 20 foot deep give or take 2 feet ? each tree or trees will typically yield a few fish and maybe a real good tree 6 or 8 .
depth is critical and you need to measure your line carefully and if you jig it will help bigtime to nibble up or a put a pc a minnow on it .
drop it down the timber close to it and watch the line close and to be sure some bites will be really subtle on the take .
stick and move and fill the box is the way its normally done and sometimes it will yield some big summer fish .
tree lines along channel edges are the ones I look at first and around midday to late afternoon when the sun is high is best for me .
and "pole" timber with no limbs holds them quite well sometimes with less loss of jigs as well , just saying
