For panfish in Square, use a worm or tiny jig near weeds and shade for pumpkinseed, and fish a small jig, minnow or worm close to the bottom for yellow perch.
For pike, pickerel or muskellunge in Square, throw a small spoon or flashy swimbait along weeds for chain pickerel.
For brown bullheads in Square, put a nightcrawler or small piece of cut bait on the bottom in quiet water, especially after sunset.

For deep-water fish in Square, use a small jig, minnow or worm when white perch gather over deep flats and drop-offs.
Spring on Square is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is a good time to fish shade, weeds and the first drop into deeper water. Fall on Square can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
On a first trip to Square, check incoming water, one bend in the old channel and a point near deep water with a moving lure, then slow down with a jig or worm where you get a bite.
A medium spinning rod with 8- to 10-pound line handles most jigs, worms and small lures at Square, while a medium-heavy rod is better for bass jigs and heavier bottom rigs.
On Square, pick one cove and the closest point or drop into deep water, then fish that small area well before making a long move.
Not every trip. A better place on Square is where a point, drop-off or group of baitfish gives the fish a reason to stop.
On Square, it shows that a lot of the water sits away from the bank and around the old channel or deep end.
