If this were my first time here, I would keep the plan basic by making an honest pass along 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.
Species worth planning around
The fish data for Center Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; so I would keep the tackle centered on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and leave room to adjust if the first idea is wrong.
A practical first pass
If the goal were simply to get a feel for Center Lake, I would keep one shallow option and one deeper option ready so the day does not depend on a single idea, then I would read the current Wisconsin DNR rules so nothing about the trip is based on an old limit.
