Lake Ellis Simon is a lake in North Carolina, near Craven County.
In Craven County, Lake Ellis Simon is listed as a lake; my opening stop would be one easy-to-read section of water, and I would stay with it until I get a clear read from the nearby water. The first trip does not have to solve everything, so I would keep fishing one manageable part of the lake until I get a clear read from the first hour before I add more distance or tackle.
Exact size and depth measurements are sparse for Lake Ellis Simon, so I would leave the figures unstated until an official reservoir report documents the value and use one nearby part of the lake until I learn something from the first setup.
The available fish information for Lake Ellis Simon includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Largemouth Bass, and Warmouth, so my opening plan would use a single target fish around one short starting zone and hold there until I learn something from the first adjustment. A compact spinnerbait, crankbait, and Texas-rigged plastic cover the basic bass approaches around one sheltered starting zone on Lake Ellis Simon; I would stay with them until I find a repeatable bite in the first few casts.
For a first trip to Lake Ellis Simon, I would fish one straightforward starting zone long enough to judge the plan, then fix the first weak link in the approach after I find a repeatable bite in the nearby water. After I find a repeatable bite in the first hour, I would give one promising area near the launch more time on Lake Ellis Simon instead of immediately looking elsewhere. Once I see a pattern develop in the first setup, I would remember what worked around one easy-to-read area near the launch and begin the next trip to Lake Ellis Simon with that same clue.
