At Deuce Lake, a point, weed edge, or small drop is more important than simply covering the whole shoreline.

On this 126.4-acre water, try this for walleye: work a jig and minnow, a live-bait rig, or a small crankbait along points and the first drop.
Within this open water in Sargent County, try this for yellow perch: keep a small jig tipped with a minnow or worm close to the bottom on a flat beside deeper water.
In Sargent County, black Crappie, and Bluegill have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.
Around this open water in Sargent County, make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
Around this open water in Sargent County, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
Before leaving this midsize, open lake in Sargent County, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
On this Sargent County lake with open water, record the wind, water color, productive depth, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
