I would spend more time watching the water than changing baits and I would start where I can clearly see or understand one shallow area, one stretch of cover, and one deeper break and I would keep whatever works instead of changing it just because the next spot looks different.
The fish list
The fish currently listed for Fay Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; so the first few setups I pack would cover weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and keep the day practical and easy to change.
What I would try before anything fancy
If this were my day on Fay Lake, I would keep the first hour organized enough that a bite actually teaches me something, then I would make one last stop at the Wisconsin DNR rules before calling the trip ready.
