I would avoid overthinking this one right out of the gate by checking shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would give the fish a chance to show me whether they want shallow cover or nearby depth.

What is actually listed here

At Cochran Lake, the current fish record includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and I would let that list point me toward weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and let current conditions settle the details.

My first-day plan

If I were starting from scratch on Cochran Lake, I would keep the trip flexible enough to move, but not so restless that I never learn a spot, then I would confirm the current Wisconsin rules for the species I plan to target.
