I would not try to turn the first trip into a science project by checking what is happening around the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because a few careful stops usually teach you more than a pile of random casts.

The current species list

Right now, the inventory connects Goin Lake with Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would make room in the tackle box for weeds and easy cover for panfish, and leave room to adjust if the first idea is wrong.

How I would learn the lake

Going into a first day on Goin Lake, I would give the easy-to-read cover and depth changes a fair shot before trying anything fancy, then I would read the current Wisconsin DNR rules so nothing about the trip is based on an old limit.
