I would give a few different kinds of spots an honest chance and I would make the opening plan about shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and if nothing happens, the next move should change the kind of water, not just the scenery.
The species record attached to Shepard Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; which is enough for me to plan around points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and avoid turning a simple trip into a gear-hauling contest.
For a first trip to Shepard Lake, I would give the easy-to-read cover and depth changes a fair shot before trying anything fancy, then I would check the latest Wisconsin regulation details before the day starts.
