You will find Tepee Lake in Vilas County, where it is classified as a lake and the basic lake data comes in at about 62 acres and a maximum depth of 23 feet, so at least you are starting with real numbers instead of guessing from a map.

I would avoid overthinking this one right out of the gate and I would begin around shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because a few careful stops usually teach you more than a pile of random casts.
What is actually listed here
At Tepee Lake, the current fish record includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; which keeps me focused on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and see what actually shows up before changing directions.
My first-day plan
If I were starting from scratch on Tepee Lake, I would make the day about finding one repeatable clue instead of collecting waypoints, and I would make sure the current Wisconsin fishing regulations do not add a special rule for this water.
