I would rather fish a handful of good-looking spots well by spending the early part of the day on 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 Pauls Lake record include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and that gives me a simple starting point with weeds and easy cover for panfish, and save the extra tackle until there is a reason to use it.

A laid-back first trip

If I wanted the first trip to Pauls Lake to actually teach me something, I would start with a simple plan and only add complexity if the fish make me, and I would read the current Wisconsin rules once before the trip so there are no surprises.
