Kobus Lake is one of the lakes mapped in Oconto County and the basic lake data comes in at about 3 acres and a maximum depth of 5 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 and I would begin around 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 Kobus Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which keeps me focused on weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep the day practical and easy to change.
Where I would put my time
For the opening trip to Kobus Lake, I would make the day about finding one repeatable clue instead of collecting waypoints, then I would make one last stop at the Wisconsin DNR rules before calling the trip ready.
