During a careful second pass near an open-water edge before changing depth, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a warm summer afternoon near the first break after a cold night, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a check of nearby water near a firm-bottom flat while the water is falling, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a check of nearby water near the edge of deeper water after a cold night, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a calm morning near a quiet corner away from empty shoreline, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
While using a short pass along useful shoreline near a rocky edge in stained water, 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 bright afternoon near a rocky edge after warm rain, 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 hour near an open-water edge near visible 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.
