You can use some small spoons but shad darts are the way to go. Make sure you take chatreuse and some pink. Can also stick on colored grubs.
Use 3 way with weight and 36" leader.

Use green in the morning when it isn't that bright, and pink when the sun is up.
I use no swivel, just 4-5 inches of hollow core lead and a jig head.

yes i do but i was bank drifting 1/2oz sliding egg weight if i snag it will help allow the egg to move around on my line and most of the time ill get unsnagged but using 1/2 oz allows me to stay well off the bottom and a 3' leader to a shad dart will allow me to get closer to the bottom without snaggin i probably only snagged 2 times today

So you don't let it contact bottom, or at least try not to? I think that might have been my problem. I was going for the bounce and snagged on nearly every cast.
I think a big part of the issue at Clackamite is the hundreds and thousands of yards of mono strong along the bottom there. It would be a fun cleanup project for a bunch of bored scuba divers.
