I would rather learn one piece of this water than rush through ten and I would make the opening plan about one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break and once one type of water shows life, I would look for more of the same.
What swims here
Species already recorded for Sand Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; which is enough for me to plan around 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.
A simple way to approach it
For an uncomplicated day on Sand Lake, I would fish a few sensible areas, remember where the life is, and stop forcing a pattern that is not there, and I would pull up the current Wisconsin fishing regulations before leaving home.
