During the start of a weather change near a soft-to-hard bottom change where food is present, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
During the start of a weather change near a soft-to-hard bottom change while the water is rising, 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 steady fall day near a quiet corner away from empty shoreline, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
While using a quick comparison of two banks near the edge of deeper water near firm bottom, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
On a return to the best bank near scattered wood beside useful cover, 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 careful second pass near a windblown shore with light wind, record the wind, water color, depth of the first good pass, 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.
