The smart first move here is to keep the day manageable by working shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and that is usually enough to tell you whether to stay shallow or start looking farther out.
Fish recorded for Payment Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, and Walleye, plus 1 more; so I would pack with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and save the extra tackle until there is a reason to use it.
If I only had one day to learn Payment Lake, I would choose a few spots that look different from one another and give each one a fair chance, then I would verify the latest bag, size, and season information before fishing.
