I would rather learn one piece of this water than rush through ten and I would make sure I actually fish the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would only make a big move if those places truly look empty.
What swims here
Species already recorded for Tank Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which tells me to think about weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and avoid hauling gear for every fish in Wisconsin.
A simple way to approach it
For an uncomplicated day on Tank Lake, I would spend less time changing lures and more time noticing depth, cover, water color, and where bait is showing, and I would make sure the current Wisconsin fishing regulations do not add a special rule for this water.
