McNabb Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Near the outside edge of the first drop, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Around the gravel lip of a protected bank, 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.
Along the steep side of a shallow saddle, 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 lower edge of a shallow saddle, 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 shaded bank, 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.
Beside the calm side of a flooded tree line, record the wind, water color, depth where fish were holding, 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.
