I would spend more time watching the water than changing baits with a little time spent on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would pay more attention to where the first bite comes from than what lure caught it.
The fish list
The fish currently listed for Church Pine Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; so I would build the first part of the day around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and keep the first trip from getting too complicated.
What I would try before anything fancy
If this were my day on Church Pine Lake, I would fish a few sensible areas, remember where the life is, and stop forcing a pattern that is not there, and I would check the current regulations before keeping anything.
