For a new-to-me lake like this, simple beats clever with a little time spent on the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would keep whatever works instead of changing it just because the next spot looks different.

Fish tied to this lake

The present inventory shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch at Fenske Lake; so I would build the first part of the day around weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep the day practical and easy to change.

How I would keep it simple

If I were headed to Fenske Lake tomorrow, I would fish a few sensible areas, remember where the life is, and stop forcing a pattern that is not there, then I would make one last stop at the Wisconsin DNR rules before calling the trip ready.
