Fishing a new lake...

Break it down to smaller portions, stop trying to take in the whole lake.
too overwhelming especially in tournament time, find an area and fish the
features of that area that appeal to you most based on past experiences on
other lakes, then move on and repeat, or go to the local tackle store and
buy two of the most overpriced items you can find. : )
