I would give a few different kinds of spots an honest chance and I would start where I can clearly see or understand shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would keep whatever works instead of changing it just because the next spot looks different.
Fish recorded in this water
The species record attached to Bragonier Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so the first few setups I pack would cover weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep the day practical and easy to change.
An easy starting plan
For a first trip to Bragonier Lake, I would keep the first hour organized enough that a bite actually teaches me something, then I would make one last stop at the Wisconsin DNR rules before calling the trip ready.
