Start with a short rotation through accessible bank cover, vegetation, and nearby deeper water. Give each spot a few deliberate casts before moving on.
For Bug Lake, the fish list currently includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, 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 then let the actual bites decide what comes next.
If I were taking a friend to Bug Lake, I would fish what is in front of me instead of trying to make the lake match an old report, then I would check the current Wisconsin rules before the first cast.
