I would rather learn one piece of this water than rush through ten and the first places I would give a fair shot are the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would pay more attention to where the first bite comes from than what lure caught it.
What swims here
Species already recorded for Tom Bayou include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which makes it reasonable to try weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and leave room to adjust if the first idea is wrong.
A simple way to approach it
For an uncomplicated day on Tom Bayou, I would bring a couple of dependable baits, fish the best-looking water I can reach, and pay attention to what the first few bites have in common, and I would check the current regulations before keeping anything.
