Mays Lake is a reservoir in White County, and on a first trip I would start around one short piece of water and stay there until I get a useful answer from the first area. I would keep the opening plan simple around one sheltered section of bank and leave it alone until I get a useful answer from the first adjustment.

Mays Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

A dependable standalone set of acreage, depth, and volume figures is not readily available for Mays Lake, so I would not guess at them until a dependable agency source confirms the number and would work one straightforward section of bank until I get a useful clue from the first few casts.

Fishing This Water

The fishery at Mays Lake is lightly documented, so I would use one light rod with a jig, worm, and float around one promising shoreline stretch and let the first trip stay broad until I get a useful clue from the nearby water. The best first setup on Mays Lake is a simple one around one easy-to-read shoreline stretch, and I would leave it alone until I get a useful clue from the first hour.

A Practical Mays Lake Game Plan

I would approach Mays Lake by choosing one nearby section of water, one target, and a small tackle selection, then make the simplest change first after I see enough in the first setup. If I see enough in the first adjustment, I would stop searching randomly and fish one short section of water properly on Mays Lake. If I get a clear read from the first few casts, I would make a note of what happened around one sheltered section of water and use that as the starting point the next time I fish Mays Lake.
