For this page, we are talking about Casey Lake, a lake in Waupaca County with the current lake record giving us about 21 acres and a maximum depth of 40 feet, so at least you are starting with real numbers instead of guessing from a map.

If this were my first time here, I would keep the plan basic and I would make the opening plan about the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would only make a big move if those places truly look empty.
Species worth planning around
The fish data for Casey Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, and Yellow Perch; which is enough for me to plan around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and see what actually shows up before changing directions.
A practical first pass
If the goal were simply to get a feel for Casey Lake, I would fish a few sensible areas, remember where the life is, and stop forcing a pattern that is not there, and I would make sure the current Wisconsin fishing regulations do not add a special rule for this water.
