Bass Lake belongs to St. Croix County and is listed as a lake and the water facts we have show about 9 acres and a maximum depth of 10 feet, which helps keep the first trip simple instead of turning it into a giant guessing game.

I would spend more time watching the water than changing baits and I would build the day around the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because the goal on day one is to learn a pattern, not prove you can fish the entire shoreline.
The fish list
I would not plan around one specific fish at Bass Lake from the current record alone; i would keep the species plan open until a current exact-water source gives us something solid, and before i start changing directions every ten minutes.
What I would try before anything fancy
If this were my day on Bass Lake, I would keep one shallow option and one deeper option ready so the day does not depend on a single idea, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
