The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; begin where shallow cover meets depth, then match lure size to the fish.
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; match lure size to the visible food, then change lure speed before moving.
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; start beside deeper water, then keep the bait above soft bottom.
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; search one cove before changing areas, then keep a worm ready for a slower check.
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; begin near moving water, then keep the first route short.
Record the wind, water color, depth of the working lure, 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; match the hook and line to the named target.
