The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; fish the warmest edge early in spring, then compare shallow and deeper water.
Begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water; start beside the first useful break, then make the next cast parallel to the edge.
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; work an old channel turn, then watch for food before choosing lure depth.
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; work the best shade during bright hours, then keep the bait near useful cover.
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; start near the best mix of cover, then watch water color during the day.
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; fish the warmest edge early in spring, then fish the edge from top to bottom.
