Without a dependable size figure for Andys Lakes, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.
On a bright afternoon near the outside weed line before changing areas, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
On a bright afternoon near a windblown shore in stained water, begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water.
On a cool spring morning near a narrow cove where two features meet, 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.
While using one protected-water check near a narrow cove where food is present, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
On a calm morning near a firm-bottom flat with a slow lure, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
On a steady fall day near the downwind side under flat light, record the wind, water color, depth where the lure was hit, 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.
