Fish not on humps

For the last couple of weeks been getting lots of big Sandies and nice Hybrids away from humps, points, etc... Been finding them suspended in deep water midlake, water as deep as 42 ft. fish wil be 8-12 ft. off of bottom. The way to catch them is use a large 1.5-2 oz. jigging spoon such as a T.N.T. slab and drop it and then rip it back up. Also using a large 1 oz. Sassy Shad retrieved quickly off of the bottom will induce strikes from these suspended fish. Recently I had a trip and could not find any fish on any of my favorite humps, just happened to mark some on my sonar then we spend the next 2 hrs limiting on Whites with several nice Hybrids to boot. You can also troll these deeper waters, the famed hell/pet combo will work and also deep diving crankbiats like a dd-22.
It is just matter of a couple of weeks before these fish will begin to stack up shallow on their summer spots, shallow humps 13-17 ft. will hold schools of these fish, then it gets a lot easier finding them.
