For me time of day plays into a lot of the action. I primarily boat fish but have spent some time on the shore. The lake tends to shut down for periods of time but if you are on the water / shore at daybreak that is your best bet. Same for later evening when the sun starts to set. Even on a boat I struggled for stripped bass during mid day, LMB and SMB usually stay pretty active. Drop shot a senko for consistent results.
One thing i like to do after i have chummed and got the fish in the area is to switch up to a top water plug such as a zara spook. Usually get a bit of action that route or i will throw on a swim shad. Just need to make sure its near the size of the bait in the water. If the fish are there you should do well unless they are just locked into the bait fish.
