I would give a few different kinds of spots an honest chance by making an honest pass along the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and once one type of water shows life, I would look for more of the same.

Fish recorded in this water

The species record attached to Little Bowker Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would keep the tackle centered on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and stay flexible if the water tells me something else.

An easy starting plan

For a first trip to Little Bowker Lake, I would pick a small part of the lake and try to understand it before worrying about everything else, and I would pull up the current Wisconsin fishing regulations before leaving home.
