During a slow shoreline pass near a windblown shore in clear 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.
During a steady fall day near a windblown shore close to shade, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.

During a slow shoreline pass near a firm-bottom flat with stable weather, 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.
During a check of nearby water near a firm-bottom flat with light wind, record the wind, water color, water depth at the strike, 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.
