Within Dade County, Gross Lake is identified as a reservoir; a practical first look would begin around one sheltered piece of water, and I would stay close until I learn something from the opening stretch. I do not need to cover the whole lake on day one; I would fish one straightforward piece of water until I find a repeatable bite in the first area and build from there.
Exact physical figures are difficult to verify for Gross Lake, so I would keep the trip practical until a dependable agency source confirms the number and fish one promising section of bank until I find a repeatable bite in the first adjustment.
There is not much exact-water species information published for Gross Lake, so I would keep the first outing flexible with a small tackle bag with a few soft plastics and live bait around one easy-to-read section of bank until I see a pattern develop in the first few casts. For a first trip on Gross Lake, I would use a simple presentation around one manageable section of bank and keep it there until I see a pattern develop in the nearby water.
For Gross Lake, I would spend the opening part of the trip around one nearby shoreline stretch, avoid constant relocation, and change one variable at a time after I see a pattern develop in the first hour. Once I get a useful answer from the first area, I would keep working one short shoreline stretch on Gross Lake before deciding whether to stay, move, or change depth. The moment I get a useful answer from the first adjustment, I would remember the setup I used around one straightforward section of water and make that the first test on my next trip to Gross Lake.
