During a careful second pass near the edge of deeper water near firm bottom, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During the first pass near a shaded bank close to shade, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During the last hour of daylight near a narrow cove in stained water, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
During a steady fall day near a creek-side turn with a moving bait, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a methodical search near the edge of deeper water with a moving bait, Other targets listed here include Channel Catfish, 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 a low-light period near the outside weed line near visible bait, 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 the first hour near a clean gravel patch away from empty shoreline, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
During a cold winter outing near a protected point near visible bait, 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 a cool spring morning near a creek-side turn with stable weather, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful cover, 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.
