For a new-to-me lake like this, simple beats clever by checking what is happening around shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before I started running around looking for something better.

Fish tied to this lake

The present inventory shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch at Sunfish Lake; so I would make room in the tackle box for weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep the rest of the day loose.

How I would keep it simple

If I were headed to Sunfish Lake tomorrow, I would keep the trip flexible enough to move, but not so restless that I never learn a spot, and I would still look at the current Wisconsin regulations before fishing.
