My first day here would stay uncomplicated and I would start where I can clearly see or understand shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and once one type of water shows life, I would look for more of the same.
What the fish list tells you
The exact-water list for Crystal Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so the first few setups I pack would cover weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and stay flexible if the water tells me something else.
Where I would start
If I had never seen Crystal Lake before, I would fish the places that make sense for the species on the list and avoid chasing every rumor I heard online, and I would pull up the current Wisconsin fishing regulations before leaving home.
