Lake Buffum is one of the named lake waters in Polk County, so I would begin around one straightforward section of bank and avoid a long move until I find a repeatable bite in the first area. I would rather understand one section well than skim five, so I would stay around one promising shoreline stretch until I find a repeatable bite in the first adjustment.
The known size and water figures for Lake Buffum are about 1,268 surface acres and a maximum depth of 28 feet, so I would use them as context for how much water to cover while fishing one easy-to-read shoreline stretch until I see a pattern develop in the first few casts.
Fish recorded for Lake Buffum include Warmouth, so I would make one primary species the opening focus around one manageable shoreline stretch and stay with it until I see a pattern develop in the nearby water. Sunfish in Lake Buffum can be targeted with worms, crickets, or tiny jigs around one short section of water; I would change only when I see a pattern develop in the opening stretch.

When I get a useful clue from the first few casts, I would treat one promising part of the lake as the first useful reference point for my next visit to Lake Buffum.
