I would make the first trip about learning the water, not conquering it and I would begin around shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and that is usually enough to tell you whether to stay shallow or start looking farther out.
What you can fish for
For this exact water, the recorded fish are Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout, plus 1 more; 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.
Keeping the first trip simple
If a buddy asked me how to start on Easton Lake, I would start with a simple plan and only add complexity if the fish make me, and I would read the current Wisconsin rules once before the trip so there are no surprises.
