I don't know those lakes specifically...but assuming that you meant to say powerbait, and not powerboat, have you tried Berkley's power eggs? Or have you tried Berkely's Mice Tails? If not give them a try; you may be pleasantly surprised. You can try floating the tails under a bobber, and slightly twitching once in a while to get the fish's attention.
Or remove the hook from a Little Cleo spoon, use it as an attractor / flasher, tie 8-12" of leader to a mice tail, then cast and retrieve. A fellow OFF member does that with great success. His name escapes me at the moment.
