For a new-to-me lake like this, simple beats clever with my first few stops centered on the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before I let one slow spot convince me the whole lake is dead.
Fish tied to this lake
The present inventory shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch at Swansons Lake; which gives me a good reason to start with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and avoid hauling gear for every fish in Wisconsin.
How I would keep it simple
If I were headed to Swansons Lake tomorrow, I would fish the places that make sense for the species on the list and avoid chasing every rumor I heard online, then the only homework left is checking the current Wisconsin season, bag, and size rules.
