The smart first move here is to keep the day manageable and the first places I would give a fair shot are shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before I started running around looking for something better.
Species already connected to this water
Fish recorded for Florence Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Rainbow Trout, and Smallmouth Bass, plus 1 more; and I would begin by covering weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and then let the actual bites decide what comes next.
The first trip does not need to be fancy
If I only had one day to learn Florence Lake, I would keep the tackle simple, pick a manageable section, and let the first signs of fish decide the next move, and I would still look at the current Wisconsin regulations before fishing.
