During the first pass near the downwind side with a moving bait, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a quick scouting pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change while the water is rising, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
During the first hour near a windblown shore close to shade, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During an overcast morning near a narrow cove while the water is falling, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water for brown trout.
During a careful second pass near a narrow cove with a moving bait, 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 a cold winter outing near a protected point where two features meet, 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 cold winter outing near a narrow cove near visible bait, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
During a quick scouting pass near a rocky edge after warm rain, 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.
