Need help learning a new lake

[meancuznalfy]

I like a worm and marshmallow a foot off of the bottom when fishing from the bank. Jigs can also be effective this time of year. Look at different access points at lakes you want to try and start going, try several places if possible, might take more than one trip to get a idea of where to fish, I like starting on points that go into a lake. Don't get discouraged with a few bad trips, persistence pays off.
