Tars Pond is one of the lakes mapped in Bayfield County with the current inventory showing about 2 acres and a maximum depth of 3 feet, so at least you are starting with real numbers instead of guessing from a map.

I would start with a few obvious areas and make the lake prove I need more with a simple look at 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.
Fish to think about
The water-specific species list for Tars Pond includes Brook Trout, Brown Trout, and Rainbow Trout; so the first trip would at least account for cooler, deeper water for trout, and avoid hauling gear for every fish in Wisconsin.
Where I would put my time
For the opening trip to Tars Pond, I would rather learn one shoreline, bay, point, or break than spend the whole day running around, and I would make sure the current Wisconsin fishing regulations do not add a special rule for this water.
