Fishing below flooding gates?

With ALL of the rain and flooding on the Brazos...
I have noticed men cat fishing below the flood gates at Whitney.
My question is: "Can I catch Stripers NOW in that fast running water and HOW?... Big Spoons? Cut bait on bottom or it drifting?"
Is it better to let it all settle down?
Just wanting to catch some stripers!
Thanks men,

I believe the only access is on the west side below the corps park.
Long casts needed and that area gets crowded.
