I would make the first trip about learning the water, not conquering it with the first real effort focused on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before I started digging through the tackle box for a magic answer.
For this exact water, the recorded fish are Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would spend the first serious effort on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and make the first hour useful instead of random.
If a buddy asked me how to start on Big Lake, I would bring a couple of dependable baits, fish the best-looking water I can reach, and pay attention to what the first few bites have in common, and I would read the current Wisconsin rules once before the trip so there are no surprises.
