During a steady fall day near the outside weed line where two features meet, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a low-light period near a shallow shelf while the water is falling, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the final pass near the first break near firm bottom, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the first hour near an open-water edge where food is present, 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 low-light period near the mouth of a pocket in clear water, Early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
During the first pass near a shaded bank with light wind, 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 the final pass near the mouth of a pocket with a slow lure, record the wind, water color, lure depth that worked, 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.
