The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
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.
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.
Spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
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.
Record the wind, water color, depth where fish bit, 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.
