I would spend more time watching the water than changing baits and I would begin around shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would take a couple of bites in one type of water over a dozen pretty spots with no life.

The fish list

The fish currently listed for Indian Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which keeps me focused on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and stick with what produces signs of life.

What I would try before anything fancy

If this were my day on Indian Lake, I would start with a simple plan and only add complexity if the fish make me, and I would not rely on an old screenshot or somebody's memory for current limits.
