I would suggest going to Wolftever Bridge and set up on the outside point (either one). Use lighted slip floats and experiment with depth. When TVA is pulling a little current, this works great. You may want to fish under the bridge also (up close to the bridge pilings) doing the same thing. I don't know if the green light you have will be much help from the bank in this area. I would just take a lantern (especially if you fish under the bridge).
Good luck.
