I would start broad, then slow down once something starts making sense and the first places I would give a fair shot are the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and once one type of water shows life, I would look for more of the same.
What the current record shows
The species currently tied to Bailey Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and I would begin by covering weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and avoid chasing a totally different kind of fishing without a reason.
How I would fish it
For somebody fishing Bailey Lake for the first time, I would keep the tackle simple, pick a manageable section, and let the first signs of fish decide the next move, and I would pull up the current Wisconsin fishing regulations before leaving home.
