Try crankbaits and topwater near shallow wood now. When water temps in 50s I start working rocks and hard structure in drop offs and deeper water either burning crankbait or using keitech like you have with quarter or 3/8 jig head just crawling it. Tight lines.

That paddle tail shad is works. I got 3 bass in 20 minutes last week with the same thing. White in color though, but shouldn’t be any different that what you got. Move around as much as you need to. I don’t stand in one spot more than 10min. I keep it moving. I’ve also gotten better at identifying where the more potential spots are at a given location. Perhaps this is where you need to get better. The bait you got there is good.
Sidenote: check if that barb and hook are good and sharp. Them cheap rigged shads have let me down losing fish before
