During a return to the best bank near the edge of deeper water in stained water, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During a check of nearby water near a shaded bank beside useful cover, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a cold winter outing near a firm-bottom flat with light wind, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During the start of a weather change near a shaded bank with stable weather, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
During a careful second pass near a shallow shelf away from empty shoreline, Other targets listed here include Largemouth Bass, Brown Bullhead, Rainbow Trout, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During a careful second pass near a channel bend after a cold night, 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.
While using one pass along the first break near a quiet corner while the water is rising, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
During a cool spring morning near a channel bend with a slow lure, 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 the first pass near a windblown shore with a moving bait, record the wind, water color, depth of the working lure, 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.
During a careful second pass near a shallow shelf with stable weather, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops.
During a bright afternoon near a creek-side turn where food is present, Choose one manageable arm or shoreline and check its cover, first break, and nearby open water before making a long move.
During a cold winter outing near an open-water edge in clear water, Move after checking the same useful feature at several depths without finding bait, a clean edge, or a bite.
