Lake Susan sits in Putnam County and is classified as a lake; I would pick one sheltered area near the launch as the first section and keep fishing it until I get a useful answer from the first setup. For the opening part of the day, I would keep working one straightforward area near the launch until I get a useful answer from the opening stretch, because moving constantly makes a lake harder to read.
Lake Susan Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
In terms of scale, Lake Susan is described by about 99.1 surface acres, so I would use that information to choose how large an area to fish while fishing one promising piece of water until I get a useful clue from the first area.
Fishing This Water
Public fish information tied specifically to Lake Susan is sparse, so I would start with one versatile setup with a jig, spinner, and bait rig around one easy-to-read piece of water and avoid specializing until I get a useful clue from the first adjustment. The first trip to Lake Susan is easier to read when the tackle stays simple around one manageable section of bank, at least until I see enough in the first few casts.
A Practical Lake Susan Game Plan
If I were seeing Lake Susan for the first time, I would work one nearby section of bank with only a few dependable baits and change depth before changing every bait after I see enough in the nearby water. If I see enough in the opening stretch, I would stay around one short section of bank on Lake Susan and use that clue on the next similar stretch. After I get a clear read from the first area, I would leave Lake Susan knowing that one sheltered shoreline stretch deserves another look before I start searching somewhere else.
