My first day here would stay uncomplicated with a simple look at shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and that is usually enough to tell you whether to stay shallow or start looking farther out.
The exact-water list for Jones Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so the first trip would at least account for weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and save the extra tackle until there is a reason to use it.
If I had never seen Jones Lake before, I would rather learn one shoreline, bay, point, or break than spend the whole day running around, then I would verify the latest bag, size, and season information before fishing.
