On a first visit, I would make a short list of places to try and I would start where I can clearly see or understand the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and once one type of water shows life, I would look for more of the same.
The current inventory lists Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch for Sams Lake; so the first few setups I pack would cover weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and stay flexible if the water tells me something else.
If I wanted to learn Sams Lake without overdoing it, I would fish the places that make sense for the species on the list and avoid chasing every rumor I heard online, and I would pull up the current Wisconsin fishing regulations before leaving home.
