I would avoid overthinking this one right out of the gate 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.
What is actually listed here
At Little Sand Lake, the current fish record includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; 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.
My first-day plan
If I were starting from scratch 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.
