During a quick scouting pass near the first break in clear water, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a short evening pass near scattered wood after warm rain, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the start of a weather change near a firm-bottom flat after warm rain, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a steady fall day near an open-water edge where food is present, 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 methodical search near a rocky edge while the water is rising, 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 short evening pass near the mouth of a pocket near firm bottom, 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 careful second pass near a firm-bottom flat before changing depth, record the wind, water color, depth of the best pass, 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.
