If this were my first time here, I would keep the plan basic with the first real effort focused on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would give the fish a chance to show me whether they want shallow cover or nearby depth.
The fish data for Collins Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; so I would spend the first serious effort on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and let current conditions settle the details.
If the goal were simply to get a feel for Collins Lake, I would fish what is in front of me instead of trying to make the lake match an old report, then I would confirm the current Wisconsin rules for the species I plan to target.
