If you are looking at Cedar Lake, you are looking at a Manitowoc County lake and the current record puts it at about 136 acres and a maximum depth of 21 feet.

The first trip does not need a giant tackle plan with a short rotation through shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because a few careful stops usually teach you more than a pile of random casts.
The fishery on paper
Recorded species at Cedar Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would pack with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and see what actually shows up before changing directions.
My game plan
If I had a few hours to figure out Cedar Lake, I would choose a few spots that look different from one another and give each one a fair chance, then I would read the current Wisconsin DNR rules so nothing about the trip is based on an old limit.
