I would rather fish a handful of good-looking spots well by putting the first hour into the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and that is usually enough to tell you whether to stay shallow or start looking farther out.

The fishing side of the page

The fish tied to this exact Elder Lake record include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and that makes me think first about weeds and easy cover for panfish, and remember that a species list does not tell you exactly where the fish are.

A laid-back first trip

If I wanted the first trip to Elder Lake to actually teach me something, I would keep the first hour organized enough that a bite actually teaches me something, then I would verify the latest bag, size, and season information before fishing.
