Shark Bay is a lake in Louisiana, near Avoyelles County.
In Avoyelles Parish, Shark Bay is listed as a lake, which makes it sensible to keep the first plan small and easy to judge, so I would fish one reachable area before widening the search. I would begin around one straightforward short stretch instead of trying to cover the whole water, because it gives the first plan a fair chance before you change directions.
A dependable standalone acreage, maximum depth, and storage figure is not published for Shark Bay, so I would let the actual shoreline set the scope of the trip, so I would use what I can see instead of guessing at a measurement. I would spend more time getting a feel for the place before assuming too much, and if a reliable measurement turns up later, it can be used then.
The fishery at Shark Bay is lightly documented, which is why I would treat the first outing as a chance to identify the main targets, so on the first visit I would keep the tackle broad enough to learn what bites. I would keep things simple with one light rod with a few small artificials and a bottom rig, because if something starts biting, the rest of the trip can be built around that clue.
My first plan for Shark Bay would be to fish one manageable piece of water deliberately and make changes only when the results justify them; a slow start is a reason to make one thoughtful change rather than rebuild the entire tackle plan.
