For a new-to-me lake like this, simple beats clever and I would start where I can clearly see or understand the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before I started digging through the tackle box for a magic answer.
Fish tied to this lake
The present inventory shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch at Binder Lake; so the first few setups I pack would cover weeds and easy cover for panfish, and save the extra tackle until there is a reason to use it.
How I would keep it simple
If I were headed to Binder Lake tomorrow, I would keep the first hour organized enough that a bite actually teaches me something, and I would read the current Wisconsin rules once before the trip so there are no surprises.
