During a low-light period near the first break near visible bait, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a steady fall day near a clean gravel patch before changing depth, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a check of nearby water near a windblown shore where food is present, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a cold winter outing near the downwind side where two features meet, 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 cold winter outing near a shaded bank before changing areas, 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 scattered wood while the water is falling, 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 pass near a windblown shore where two features meet, record the wind, water color, depth along the best drop, 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.
