I would rather fish a handful of good-looking spots well with my first few stops centered on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and if nothing happens, the next move should change the kind of water, not just the scenery.
The fishing side of the page
The fish tied to this exact Little Star Lake record include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which gives me a good reason to start with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and avoid turning a simple trip into a gear-hauling contest.
A laid-back first trip
If I wanted the first trip to Little Star Lake to actually teach me something, I would pick a small part of the lake and try to understand it before worrying about everything else, then I would check the latest Wisconsin regulation details before the day starts.
