On a water as small as Schulz Lake, Lower, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Along the lower 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.
Across the lower edge of a narrow arm, 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 outside edge of a patch of green weeds, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
Around the lower edge of an open-water break, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
Beside the quiet end of a firm-bottom flat, 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.
Along the upper edge of a creek mouth, record the wind, water color, depth along the active edge, 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.
