My first day here would stay uncomplicated by making an honest pass along one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break and if nothing happens, the next move should change the kind of water, not just the scenery.
What the fish list tells you
The exact-water list for Little Spider Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; so I would keep the tackle centered on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and avoid turning a simple trip into a gear-hauling contest.
Where I would start
If I had never seen Little Spider Lake before, I would keep one shallow option and one deeper option ready so the day does not depend on a single idea, then I would check the latest Wisconsin regulation details before the day starts.
