Sand Lake is one of the lakes mapped in Burnett County and the numbers attached to this water are about 900 acres and a maximum depth of 73 feet, so you know roughly what you are getting into before loading the boat or walking the bank.

I would start with a few obvious areas and make the lake prove I need more by checking one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break before changing five things at once and losing track of what actually mattered.
Fish to think about
The water-specific species list for Sand Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; and I would let that list point me toward weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and stay flexible if the water tells me something else.
Where I would put my time
For the opening trip to Sand Lake, I would keep the trip flexible enough to move, but not so restless that I never learn a spot, and I would pull up the current Wisconsin fishing regulations before leaving home.
