Lake Gordonsville (Bowler's Mill) sits in Louisa County and is classified as a reservoir; I would pick one sheltered section of bank as the first section and keep fishing it until I get a clear read from the first area. For the opening part of the day, I would keep working one short section of bank until I find a repeatable bite in the first area, because moving constantly makes a lake harder to read.
In terms of scale, Lake Gordonsville (Bowler's Mill) is described by about 79.9 surface acres and 3,950 acre-feet of storage, or roughly 1.3 billion gallons, so I would use that information to choose how much water to cover while fishing one nearby shoreline stretch until I get a useful clue from the first few casts.
Known fish for Lake Gordonsville (Bowler's Mill) include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Redear Sunfish, so I would build the first part of the day around one main target at one manageable shoreline stretch and avoid switching until I get a clear read from the first few casts. If bass are present in Lake Gordonsville (Bowler's Mill), a spinnerbait plus a Texas-rigged plastic gives a practical combination around one manageable section of water; I would change it only when I learn something from the first hour.
If I were seeing Lake Gordonsville (Bowler's Mill) for the first time, I would work one easy-to-read section of water with only a few dependable baits and change one part of the plan before the rest after I see a pattern develop in the first hour. If I get a useful clue from the first hour, I would stay around one promising section of water on Lake Gordonsville (Bowler's Mill) and use that clue on the next similar stretch. After I get a clear read from the opening stretch, I would leave Lake Gordonsville (Bowler's Mill) knowing that one straightforward part of the lake deserves another look before I start searching somewhere else.
