I would spend more time watching the water than changing baits and I would start where I can clearly see or understand the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before changing five things at once and losing track of what actually mattered.
The fish currently listed for Nelson Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so the first few setups I pack would cover weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep one good idea at a time instead of changing everything.
If this were my day on Nelson Lake, I would keep the first hour organized enough that a bite actually teaches me something, then I would double-check seasons and limits because the fish list on this page is not the rule book.
