During a quick scouting pass near the downwind side in stained water, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a methodical search near the first break in stained water, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During the final 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 a calm morning near a protected point away from empty shoreline, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a careful second pass near a quiet corner with a slow lure, Other targets listed here include Brown Bullhead, Rainbow Trout, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During an overcast morning near a shallow shelf with stable weather, 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 calm morning near a clean gravel patch away from empty shoreline, 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 windblown shore in stained water, 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 the first pass near a rocky edge away from empty shoreline, record the wind, water color, depth along the active edge, 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.
