Up in Marinette County, Rosebush Lake is a lake and the useful numbers here are about 417 acres and a maximum depth of 30 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 by putting the first hour into one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break 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 Rosebush Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; so I would build the first part of the day around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and use the first few bites to narrow the plan.
How I would spend the first few hours
Before I made the drive to Rosebush Lake, I would make every move change one big thing, like depth or cover, instead of just driving to another pretty spot, and I would make a quick regulation check part of the trip plan, not an afterthought at the ramp.
