On a first visit, I would make a short list of places to try and I would begin around the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and that is usually enough to tell you whether to stay shallow or start looking farther out.
Fish you may run into
The current inventory lists Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch for East Wilcox Lake; which keeps me focused on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and save the extra tackle until there is a reason to use it.
How I would break it down
If I wanted to learn East Wilcox Lake without overdoing it, I would make the day about finding one repeatable clue instead of collecting waypoints, and I would read the current Wisconsin rules once before the trip so there are no surprises.
