I would give a few different kinds of spots an honest chance by checking what is happening around shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before I started running around looking for something better.

Fish recorded in this water

The species record attached to Burnham Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, and Yellow Perch; so I would make room in the tackle box for weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep the rest of the day loose.

An easy starting plan

For a first trip to Burnham Lake, I would keep the trip flexible enough to move, but not so restless that I never learn a spot, and I would still look at the current Wisconsin regulations before fishing.
