Up in Waushara County, Rogers Pond is a lake with published numbers of about 3 acres and a maximum depth of 7 feet, and that is the kind of basic information I actually want before fishing somewhere new.

I would rather get two useful clues than make twenty random stops and I would make sure I actually fish the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would give the fish a chance to show me whether they want shallow cover or nearby depth.
What anglers can target
The current fish list for Rogers Pond includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout, plus 1 more; and that is enough to put some time into weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and let current conditions settle the details.
How I would spend the first few hours
Before I made the drive to Rogers Pond, I would make a short plan, fish it honestly, and change areas only when the water gives me a reason, and I would make a quick regulation check part of the trip plan, not an afterthought at the ramp.
