Kings Lake is a reservoir in Virginia, near Virginia Beach (city) County.
This Virginia Beach (city) County water is recorded as Kings Lake, a reservoir, and I would spend the first part of the trip around one short section of bank until I get a clear read from the first area. On unfamiliar water, I would rather fish one nearby section of bank until I see a pattern develop in the first area than make several random moves.
Surface area, maximum depth, and storage are not well documented for Kings Lake, so I would keep those values open until a trustworthy source publishes a defensible number while I work one manageable shoreline stretch until I get a useful clue from the first few casts.
The documented species list for Kings Lake includes Bluegill and Largemouth Bass, which gives me enough options to pick one primary species, start around one easy-to-read shoreline stretch, and keep that plan until I get a clear read from the first few casts. A simple bass setup of one moving lure and one soft plastic is enough around one easy-to-read section of water on Kings Lake, at least until I learn something from the first hour.
A practical first day on Kings Lake starts with one promising section of water and one target species; from there I would change location before rebuilding the tackle plan after I see a pattern develop in the first hour. If I get a useful clue from the opening stretch, I would keep working one straightforward part of the lake on Kings Lake and treat that as the main lesson from the first visit. If I get a clear read from the opening stretch, I would keep track of the depth and presentation around one sheltered part of the lake so the next trip to Kings Lake starts with a real plan.
