My first day here would stay uncomplicated with my first few stops centered on the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because a few careful stops usually teach you more than a pile of random casts.
What the fish list tells you
The exact-water list for Minnow Lake includes 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 leave room to adjust if the first idea is wrong.
Where I would start
If I had never seen Minnow Lake before, I would pick a small part of the lake and try to understand it before worrying about everything else, then I would read the current Wisconsin DNR rules so nothing about the trip is based on an old limit.
