For a new-to-me lake like this, simple beats clever by putting the first hour into shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before making the day harder than it needs to be.
Fish tied to this lake
The present inventory shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch at Buck Lake; and that makes me think first about weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and then let the actual bites decide what comes next.
How I would keep it simple
If I were headed to Buck Lake tomorrow, I would make every move change one big thing, like depth or cover, instead of just driving to another pretty spot, then I would check the current Wisconsin rules before the first cast.
