During the last hour of daylight near a shaded bank after a cold night, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During the first pass near a clean gravel patch away from empty shoreline, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the last hour of daylight near a small drop before changing areas, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a calm morning near a shaded bank under flat light, 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 cool spring morning near a shaded bank 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 final pass near an open-water edge 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 small drop beside useful cover, record the wind, water color, depth where fish were holding, 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.
