On a first visit, I would make a short list of places to try with a simple look at shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before I started digging through the tackle box for a magic answer.

Fish you may run into

The current inventory lists Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, and Yellow Perch for Jerms Lake; so the first trip would at least account for weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and make the first hour useful instead of random.

How I would break it down

If I wanted to learn Jerms Lake without overdoing it, I would rather learn one shoreline, bay, point, or break than spend the whole day running around, and I would read the current Wisconsin rules once before the trip so there are no surprises.
