I would spend more time watching the water than changing baits by spending the early part of the day on the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would take a couple of bites in one type of water over a dozen pretty spots with no life.
The fish list
The fish currently listed for Bergene Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and that gives me a simple starting point with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and stick with what produces signs of life.
What I would try before anything fancy
If this were my day on Bergene Lake, I would fish what is in front of me instead of trying to make the lake match an old report, and I would not rely on an old screenshot or somebody's memory for current limits.
