The first trip does not need a giant tackle plan and I would begin around shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before I started running around looking for something better.
Recorded species at Straight Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which keeps me focused on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and then let the actual bites decide what comes next.
If I had a few hours to figure out Straight Lake, I would make the day about finding one repeatable clue instead of collecting waypoints, then I would check the current Wisconsin rules before the first cast.
