If this were my first time here, I would keep the plan basic with most of my time going to shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because a few careful stops usually teach you more than a pile of random casts.

Species worth planning around

The fish data for Gibbs Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so the first fishing plan would include 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 Gibbs Lake, I would use the fish list and the lake's size as a guide, then let current conditions settle the details, and I would make sure the current Wisconsin fishing regulations do not add a special rule for this water.
