On a water as small as Ravensdale Pit, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish listed for Ravensdale Pit include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Common Carp, Largemouth Bass, Largescale Sucker, Northern Pikeminnow, Peamouth Chub, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch.
During the last hour of daylight near a narrow cove near visible bait, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During a cool spring morning near a quiet corner close to shade, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a slow shoreline pass near a shaded bank in stained water, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a cool spring morning near a shaded bank under flat light, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
During the first hour near a channel bend near visible bait, 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 methodical search near a firm-bottom flat where food is present, 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 brief open-water pass near the mouth of a pocket with a moving bait, 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 the final pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change in clear water, 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 a calm morning near a channel bend before changing areas, record the wind, water color, depth where fish were holding, 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.
