I have had a lot of luck using suspending jerk baits in early season. They work really well when you fish them slow as you can keep them down in the water column for a long time.
Other than that I like to use jigs and bullet rigs and lipless crank baits.
I use lunkerfrogs from the start of fishing season to the end....if the water is still really cold by where you are id throw a small frog until everything warms up

Yea id stick to jigs and jerks but ive caught a few this year fishing shallow cranks. See what works just go slow. Id stay away from topwater until the wayer temps get higher and they become more active
