In Randolph County, Auman Lake is listed as a reservoir; my opening stop would be one promising part of the lake, and I would stay with it until I get a useful clue from the nearby water. The first trip does not have to solve everything, so I would keep fishing one easy-to-read starting zone until I get a useful clue from the first hour before I add more distance or tackle.
Auman Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
Exact size and depth measurements are sparse for Auman Lake, so I would leave the figures unstated until a reliable lake-specific record provides the figure and use one manageable starting zone until I see enough in the first setup.
Fish Species and Best Baits
The available fish information for Auman Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Largemouth Bass, and Redear Sunfish, so my opening plan would use one first-choice species around one nearby area near the launch and hold there until I see enough in the opening stretch. A compact spinnerbait, crankbait, and Texas-rigged plastic cover the basic bass approaches around one short area near the launch on Auman Lake; I would stay with them until I get a clear read from the first few casts.
A Practical Auman Lake Game Plan
For a first trip to Auman Lake, I would fish one sheltered area near the launch long enough to judge the plan, then change one part of the plan before the rest after I get a clear read from the nearby water. After I get a clear read from the first hour, I would give one straightforward piece of water more time on Auman Lake instead of immediately looking elsewhere. Once I learn something from the first setup, I would remember what worked around one promising piece of water and begin the next trip to Auman Lake with that same clue.
