    going to try this lake this winter, has a small stream that flows into the lake from west side of the north-west bay (i labeled it) mostly sand bottom without much vegetation or structure in the middle, all the vegetation is around the edge/shallows.

    about a 150 acre lake

    I know this lake has musky, pike, walleye, perch, bluegill and crappie.

    Where would you target walleye?

    Where would you target Panfish?

    My guess would be fishing the west side of the narrows to the south. right where the 20′ drop starts to climb up to the 9′ flats. walleyes would be moving in and out of there morning and evening. the perch will probably right on that 9′ flats if there’s vegetation if not they would be on the lake basin. Midwinter I would fish the point north of the narrows for walleye and perch. Closer to spring those walleye will move to the rock near or up the inlet.

    I don’t know the lake but this would be my starting point.

    white gave you some very good advice^

    you could also hit that southern point and work that inside turn and start drilling holes from deep up to shallow and drop the transducer down to see if any fish are there.

    If it is clear water and sandy bottom there is a good chance you can find sand grass on the bottom in deeper water (15′ or more). Look for clutter on the bottom with your flasher then send a heavy bait with treble hooks down to bottom. If there is sand grass you will snag it. Find sand grass and you’ll find walleyes and panfish.
