While looking for black crappie on Dos Pueblos, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops.
To begin with bluegill on Dos Pueblos, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.
One direct largemouth bass tactic on Dos Pueblos is to work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover.
To begin with channel catfish on Dos Pueblos, fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat.
Other targets listed here include Rainbow Trout, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig; check rock and weeds as separate patterns, then follow bait before changing areas.
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; check the clearest edge before moving, then repeat the first clean pattern.
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; fish one point at two depths, then slow the bait when a good edge appears.
A light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control; try natural colors in clear water; test a point before fishing a featureless bank.
Record the wind, water color, depth along the best drop, 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; check the clearest edge before moving, then check both sides of the point.
