Middleton Lake sits in Long County and is classified as a lake; I would pick one promising area near the launch as the first section and keep fishing it until I get a useful answer from the nearby water. For the opening part of the day, I would keep working one easy-to-read area near the launch until I get a useful answer from the first hour, because moving constantly makes a lake harder to read.
Middleton Lake does not have a dependable set of published size and depth measurements, so I would wait until a current management document publishes a figure before trusting a number and stay around one manageable piece of water until I get a useful clue from the first setup.
Public fish information tied specifically to Middleton Lake is sparse, so I would start with one versatile setup with a jig, spinner, and bait rig around one nearby piece of water and avoid specializing until I get a useful clue from the opening stretch. The first trip to Middleton Lake is easier to read when the tackle stays simple around one short section of bank, at least until I see enough in the first few casts.
If I were seeing Middleton Lake for the first time, I would work one sheltered section of bank with only a few dependable baits and change depth before changing every bait after I see enough in the nearby water.

After I get a clear read from the first setup, I would leave Middleton Lake knowing that one promising shoreline stretch deserves another look before I start searching somewhere else.
