I would keep the first trip pretty simple by checking the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would give the fish a chance to show me whether they want shallow cover or nearby depth.
Recorded fish species
On the species side, Turtle Lake currently has Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch on record; and I would let that list point me toward weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and let current conditions settle the details.
My basic approach
If we were fishing Turtle Lake together, I would keep the trip flexible enough to move, but not so restless that I never learn a spot, then I would confirm the current Wisconsin rules for the species I plan to target.
