A Practical Park Lake Game Plan
For Park Lake, I would spend the opening part of the trip around one straightforward section of bank, avoid constant relocation, and change depth before changing every bait after I learn something from the first few casts. Once I learn something from the nearby water, I would keep working one promising section of bank on Park Lake before deciding whether to stay, move, or change depth. The moment I learn something from the first hour, I would remember the setup I used around one easy-to-read shoreline stretch and make that the first test on my next trip to Park Lake.
