The first week of July is usually the peak of the run. I will make a trek down by that time. Pretty simple fishing, Any small fluttery spoons ( sz. 0 dick nites, Hildabrant little shavers or flickers). Shad darts will also work great of you can buy a pack of painted crappy jig heads, I think the darts work better because the shape makes them wiggle thru the water. Simple silver metalic beads work too, Just slide them down a leader tied on a sz. 2 octopus hook. Take allot of gear with you and don't be suprized if you accedently snag one of the big dino's that swim by (sturgeon). vary you retrieve they can be very pick on that. Save some for crab bait, It works better than anything i've ever used. Good luck!
