I would rather get two useful clues than make twenty random stops by checking what is happening around one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break and once one type of water shows life, I would look for more of the same.
The current fish list for Barker Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, and Walleye, plus 1 more; and I would let that list point me toward weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and stay flexible if the water tells me something else.
Before I made the drive to Barker Lake, I would keep the trip flexible enough to move, but not so restless that I never learn a spot, and I would pull up the current Wisconsin fishing regulations before leaving home.
