You can get a map, or do some scouting on your own. Use the basics sleep ledges, or any cover will hold fish. The best way to get information on local lakes is by stopping by the local bait shop, get your things, and ask questions. If your lucky, the'll fill you in.

I experiment with various tackle and techniques, you can't go wrong with soft plastics.
I usually start with soft plastics and also use search baits, such as rattle traps, crank baits, and spinner baits. You can cover a lot of water with these and see if they are active or not.
Also a jig/trailer is a great bait to go to if the bite is tough, slow down your presentation and take the time to map out the lake.
