Start with a short rotation through accessible bank cover, vegetation, and nearby deeper water. Give each spot a few deliberate casts before moving on.

Fish in the current inventory

For McCormick Lake, the fish list currently includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; which gives me a good reason to start with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and keep the rest of the day loose.

A no-nonsense way to start

If I were taking a friend to McCormick Lake, I would pick a small part of the lake and try to understand it before worrying about everything else, and I would still look at the current Wisconsin regulations before fishing.
