During the start of a weather change near the outside weed line near visible bait, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
During the start of a weather change near the downwind side where two features meet, 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.
During a cool spring morning near a narrow cove with light wind, 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.
During the start of a weather change near the outside weed line close to shade, 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.
During a steady fall day near the first break near visible bait, 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.
During a quick scouting pass near a channel bend under flat light, record the wind, water color, depth along the best drop, 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.
