Beside the current seam of a short point, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Around the first edge of a firm-bottom flat, 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.
Beside the deep corner of a broad flat, 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.
Near the sheltered edge of a creek mouth, 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.
Near the channel lip of a firm-bottom hump, 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.
Near the deep corner of a patch of green weeds, record the wind, water color, lure depth that worked, 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.
