I would spend more time watching the water than changing baits and the first places I would give a fair shot are one manageable section of the lake instead of trying to cover the whole thing before I started digging through the tackle box for a magic answer.
The fish currently listed for Big Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; which makes it reasonable to try weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and make the first hour useful instead of random.
If this were my day on Big Lake, I would keep the tackle simple, pick a manageable section, and let the first signs of fish decide the next move, and I would read the current Wisconsin rules once before the trip so there are no surprises.
