During a bright afternoon near a shallow shelf where two features meet, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a calm morning near a soft-to-hard bottom change while the water is rising, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a quick scouting pass near a protected point with light wind, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a quick scouting pass near scattered wood close to shade, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
During a cold winter outing near the first break in stained 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 a low-light period near a windblown shore while the water is rising, 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 first hour near scattered wood where food is present, record the wind, water color, depth where the bait 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.
