I fished Old Oaks Ranch on Saturday for the first time.  20 bass were landed in 2 hours and 45 minutes of fishing.  Conditions were cloudy with light wind for the most part.  The last hour the wind picked up a bit, but a steady bite continued.  Top waters were unsuccessful early.  Same for Texas rigged Power Worms.  When I changed to unweighted Sencos  the bite began.  Most of the fish were in the pound to 1 1/2 pound range with a couple at 2 1/2 pounds.  All were caught in brush relating to the bank and around the island.

Tom,

Try a small squarebill around the brush and in the shade under the trees.  My largest to date there is around 4# but most are 1.5 - 2.5#.
