The first look at Crowley Tank should cover this: the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
While fishing Crowley Tank, begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water.
Before changing spots on Crowley Tank, make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
For a first pass on Crowley Tank, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
For the next pass on Crowley Tank, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
Before moving far on Crowley Tank, record the wind, water color, productive depth, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
