I would rather get two useful clues than make twenty random stops with most of my time going to the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would pay more attention to where the first bite comes from than what lure caught it.
What anglers can target
The current fish list for Mirror Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which keeps me focused on 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.
How I would spend the first few hours
Before I made the drive to Mirror Lake, I would make the day about finding one repeatable clue instead of collecting waypoints, then I would read the current Wisconsin DNR rules so nothing about the trip is based on an old limit.
