I would start broad, then slow down once something starts making sense by working 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.

What the current record shows

There is not a reliable fish list attached to Southwest Lake right now; that may be less exciting, but it is a lot more useful than bad information, and and keep everything else in reserve until i need it.

How I would fish it

For somebody fishing Southwest Lake for the first time, I would choose a few spots that look different from one another and give each one a fair chance, then I would verify the latest bag, size, and season information before fishing.
