Taylor Lake sits in Pinellas County and is classified as a reservoir; I would pick one nearby section of bank as the first section and keep fishing it until I get a clear read from the first adjustment. For the opening part of the day, I would keep working one short section of bank until I get a clear read from the first hour, because moving constantly makes a lake harder to read.
In terms of scale, Taylor Lake is described by about 52.7 surface acres, so I would use that information to choose how much water to cover while fishing one sheltered shoreline stretch until I learn something from the first setup.
Public fish information tied specifically to Taylor Lake is sparse, so I would start with one light rod with a jig, worm, and float around one straightforward shoreline stretch and avoid specializing until I learn something from the opening stretch. The first trip to Taylor Lake is easier to read when the tackle stays simple around one easy-to-read section of water, at least until I find a repeatable bite in the first area.
If I were seeing Taylor Lake for the first time, I would work one manageable section of water with only a few dependable baits and make the simplest change first after I find a repeatable bite in the first adjustment. If I see a pattern develop in the first few casts, I would stay around one nearby section of water on Taylor Lake and use that clue on the next similar stretch. After I see a pattern develop in the first setup, I would leave Taylor Lake knowing that one short part of the lake deserves another look before I start searching somewhere else.
