Around the inside edge of a sand-to-rock change, work a jig, minnow rig, or small crankbait along points and the old channel edge for walleye.
Near the sunny side of a short point, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
Near the clean side of a firm-bottom hump, cover weeds, shallow points, and flat edges with a spoon or sturdy minnow lure for northern pike.
Around the inside edge of a broad flat, place corn or a dough bait on the bottom along a shallow flat for common carp.
Near the quiet end of a deep bend, 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.
Around the shaded side of the old channel, 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.
Across the hard edge of a quiet pocket, a medium spinning rod with 8- to 10-pound line handles most jigs and small casting baits; add a stronger outfit and a proper leader when northern pike are the target.
Around the steep side of a broad flat, record the wind, water color, depth of the best pass, 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.
