Up in Sawyer County, Goose Lake is a lake and the best current size-and-depth record is about 41 acres and a maximum depth of 5 feet, which gives you a decent picture of what kind of day on the water you are planning.

I would rather get two useful clues than make twenty random stops by giving shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank more than a couple of throwaway casts and I would pay more attention to where the first bite comes from than what lure caught it.

What anglers can target

The current fish list for Goose Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so the first trip would at least account for weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and leave room to adjust if the first idea is wrong.

How I would spend the first few hours

Before I made the drive to Goose Lake, I would rather learn one shoreline, bay, point, or break than spend the whole day running around, and I would check the current regulations before keeping anything.
