For a new-to-me lake like this, simple beats clever by making an honest pass along 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.
Fish tied to this lake
The present inventory shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch at Crystal Lake; so I would keep the tackle centered on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and stay flexible if the water tells me something else.
How I would keep it simple
If I were headed to Crystal Lake tomorrow, I would pick a small part of the lake and try to understand it before worrying about everything else, and I would pull up the current Wisconsin fishing regulations before leaving home.
