Anglers looking at St. Tammany Parish will find Spencer Mill Lake, a lake, so I would start close and learn the immediate water first. I would give one sheltered starting zone a fair chance before making a bigger move, because it gives the first plan a fair chance before you change directions.
Spencer Mill Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
Spencer Mill Lake does not have a dependable set of published acreage, depth, and volume measurements, so on a first visit I would use what I can see instead of guessing at a measurement, and I would rather keep the first plan modest until I see the water. I would start by seeing the water before making a long run, because I would leave the missing numbers alone instead of borrowing them from another lake.
Fishing This Water
Public fish information for Spencer Mill Lake is limited enough that a species list should not be guessed, which makes it smarter to carry simple freshwater gear until the fishery is clearer, and I would rather avoid copying a species list from a nearby lake. I would carry a small tackle bag 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.
A Practical Spencer Mill Lake Game Plan
If I were seeing Spencer Mill Lake for the first time, I would work one promising piece of water with only a few dependable baits; a slow start is a reason to make one thoughtful change rather than rebuild the entire tackle plan.
