For a new-to-me lake like this, simple beats clever and I would make sure I actually fish the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before I started running around looking for something better.

Fish tied to this lake

The present inventory shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch at Plantation Lake; which tells me to think about weeds and easy cover for panfish and weed lines and baitfish areas for pike or musky, and then let the actual bites decide what comes next.

How I would keep it simple

If I were headed to Plantation Lake tomorrow, I would make a short plan, fish it honestly, and change areas only when the water gives me a reason, and I would still look at the current Wisconsin regulations before fishing.
