During the final pass near a protected point where two features meet, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
During a cold winter outing near a firm-bottom flat away from empty shoreline, 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 the first hour near the first break in clear water, 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.
While using a simple check of moving water near a quiet corner with a slow lure, 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 return to the best bank near the downwind side before changing areas, 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.
