During a steady fall day near a shallow shelf under flat light, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a methodical search near a channel bend after warm rain, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a quick scouting pass near a firm-bottom flat away from empty shoreline, 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 an overcast morning near a channel bend near visible bait, 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 slow shoreline pass near the downwind side with a moving 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 steady fall day near a windblown shore before changing areas, record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, 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.
