As Robert says, a worm. Years ago and with water up into the tules just right, I won a small tourney flipping 8” t-rigged chocolate neon blue worms into the tules. To this day I see guys nailing them on dropshots and my gal caught her first plastic worm bass there on a t-rigged roboworm. In fact on her first cast. I haven’t heard the end of that either!

Having said that, be on the lookout for topwater swirls away from the banks. Throwing a plastic minnow or jerkbait into those can get you hooked up.

If you free line a senko on the edge of the tulles
or even a little deeper and work them slowly over the grass has always been a good option also.

Thanks for letting me know.
Have not been there for a long time and remember years ago when the water was low as heck and the water level at the
tulles was about 2' or less and could not believe I still caught bass tossing senkos in there. Then, just toss senkos out
in deeper water and you can still catch bass. :-)
