South Louisiana lawn fertilizer schedule

There was a thread a few days ago regarding lawn fertilization but it turned into primarily a weed control thread. I have been pretty successful with pre-emergent treatments and spot treating weeds. I'd like to know what is specific to S. LA that we should be following for fertilization.
In the past on TD I have seen posters who swear by the Randy Lemmon schedule. However, I'm wondering if this is specific to Texas' climate. First of all, his bio indicates he's spent a lot of time in TX. Second, the first thing he recommends doing now for a quick green-up is a 15-5-10 quick-release fertilizer. I cannot find any of that here in S. LA.
Additionally, he doesn't recommend Weed and Feed if the pre-emergent weed control schedule is followed. It seems everyone and their brother use Scotts Weed and Feed around here.
Do I still need to Weed and Feed, or jump straight into some fertilizers? What formulas should I use, and when?

if you used a pre emergent. there shouldnt be any need for weed and feed. you should just use fertilizer and then spot treat any weeds

So, possible dumb question, Lawn Gurus:
Clover is starting to sprout pretty good on my lawn... should just one pass with weed n feed clear that up and help my lawn grow into its nice green springy color? Do you need to water after weed n feed?
TIA
