At North Bay, other targets listed here include Channel Catfish, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
At the 191.5-acre North Bay in Box Elder County, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
Spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search; fish where rock meets mud, then check both sides of the point.
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; look along a shallow shelf, then fish the same shape nearby.
Record the wind, water color, productive depth, 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; change depth before changing the whole spot, then use a moving lure to search.
Fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops; use the same depth on the next similar feature.
Treat 21 feet as the deepest point, not the automatic fishing depth; start near cover and move deeper only when bites or bait give a reason; try a natural color before a loud pattern.
Move after checking the same useful feature at several depths without finding bait, a clean edge, or a bite; keep the lure near the depth that produced, then keep the presentation close to useful cover.
