On the map, Pine Island Lake shows up as a lake in Washburn County and the current record puts it at about 11 acres and a maximum depth of 35 feet, and that is a much better place to start than pretending every lake fishes the same.

I would give a few different kinds of spots an honest chance with a short rotation through the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before making the day harder than it needs to be.
Fish recorded in this water
The species record attached to Pine Island Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would pack with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep the day practical and easy to change.
An easy starting plan
For a first trip to Pine Island Lake, I would spend less time changing lures and more time noticing depth, cover, water color, and where bait is showing, then I would check the current Wisconsin rules before the first cast.
