Little Sand Lake is a lake on the Vilas County map with published numbers of about 110 acres and a maximum depth of 32 feet, so you can plan the trip around the water that is really there, not the lake you imagined.

I would not try to turn the first trip into a science project by giving shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank more than a couple of throwaway casts and if nothing happens, the next move should change the kind of water, not just the scenery.
The current species list
Right now, the inventory connects Little Sand Lake with Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, and Walleye, plus 1 more; and that is enough to put some time into weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and find out which part of the species list is actually active that day.
How I would learn the lake
Going into a first day on Little Sand Lake, I would make a short plan, fish it honestly, and change areas only when the water gives me a reason, then I would check the latest Wisconsin regulation details before the day starts.
