Fish in the current inventory
For Cedar Lake, the fish list currently includes Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Northern Pike, and Rainbow Trout; so the first trip would at least account for weed lines and baitfish areas for pike or musky and cooler, deeper water for trout, and see what actually shows up before changing directions.
A no-nonsense way to start
If I were taking a friend to Cedar Lake, I would rather learn one shoreline, bay, point, or break than spend the whole day running around, then I would read the current Wisconsin DNR rules so nothing about the trip is based on an old limit.
