For a new-to-me lake like this, simple beats clever by giving shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank more than a couple of throwaway casts and I would keep whatever works instead of changing it just because the next spot looks different.
The present inventory shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch at Fat Lake; and that is enough to put some time into weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and give the plan a fair shot before abandoning it.
If I were headed to Fat Lake tomorrow, I would rather learn one shoreline, bay, point, or break than spend the whole day running around, then I would make one last stop at the Wisconsin DNR rules before calling the trip ready.
