Periwinkle Bottom (historical) is a lake in Mercer County, and keep the opening depth change as the benchmark for the rest of the trip. I would start a first trip around one short section of water and stay there until the first hour shows me what to change next. I would spend more time fishing one manageable part of the lake than running, at least until the first section tells me something repeatable.

I would carry a basic first-trip selection of a few small artificials and a bottom rig and leave the target open before the opening stretch tells me something repeatable.
