For a new-to-me lake like this, simple beats clever and I would begin around the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would only make a big move if those places truly look empty.
Fish tied to this lake
The present inventory shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch at Michael Lake; which keeps me focused on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and avoid hauling gear for every fish in Wisconsin.
How I would keep it simple
If I were headed to Michael Lake tomorrow, I would start with a simple plan and only add complexity if the fish make me, then the only homework left is checking the current Wisconsin season, bag, and size rules.
