I would rather get two useful clues than make twenty random stops by checking the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and if nothing happens, the next move should change the kind of water, not just the scenery.
What anglers can target
I do not have a dependable fish list for Weiss Lake yet; for a first visit, i would keep the tackle flexible and avoid building the whole day around one species, and and use the first few bites to narrow things down.
How I would spend the first few hours
Before I made the drive to Weiss Lake, I would use the fish list and the lake's size as a guide, then let current conditions settle the details, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
