Finnegan Lake is one of the lakes mapped in Oconto County and the best numbers we have right now are about 25 acres and a maximum depth of 38 feet, so there is no need to dress the lake up with a bunch of made-up detail.

I would start with a few obvious areas and make the lake prove I need more by working the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before making the day harder than it needs to be.
Fish to think about
The water-specific species list for Finnegan Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; and I would begin by covering weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and keep the day practical and easy to change.
Where I would put my time
For the opening trip to Finnegan Lake, I would keep the tackle simple, pick a manageable section, and let the first signs of fish decide the next move, then I would check the current Wisconsin rules before the first cast.
