I couldn't handle all the fees and things either.
I have never fished Hefner but I would think you could catch a few along the rocks.
My only 3 bass at Hefner was at the end of the road on the dam on the north east side, never found them again.
Hanging because they slip in there in the dark of night. LOL!
For the OP, YouTube may be your friend. So as to not be long winded which I occasionally fall into, bass are structure, depth, water temperature and food oriented.
Every one of those can change as the day, week, month progresses.
Slam some bass at a rocky point one morning, and they will likely not be there in the evening, but back in the shallows of a cove.
Smaller bodies of water like ponds are the exception. They don't have the structure etc. and just hang out looking for something to eat.
Study the bass experts on YouTube see what they suggest and go hunting.

We pull largemouth out of the Deep Fork. They're not monsters by any means, but if a fishing idiot like me can snag one then anyone can.
Lotta opportunities to hook face on a Largemouth without travel. I seen someone skillfully use a direct overhead cast followed by a left hook set on Largemouth at a southside OKC Walmart the other day! Right as the thunder rolled and the Largemouth wriggled about and fought, somebody else effectively skip-cast their kid under the shelf ( in case of lead rain ). The most important thing to know about targeting a Largemouth is that you must use a big, fist-ball bait and large circle hook to keep the smallmouths at bay!
