I would start with a few obvious areas and make the lake prove I need more with a short rotation through shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because a few careful stops usually teach you more than a pile of random casts.
Fish to think about
The water-specific species list for Gillette Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would pack with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and see what actually shows up before changing directions.
Where I would put my time
For the opening trip to Gillette Lake, I would choose a few spots that look different from one another and give each one a fair chance, then I would read the current Wisconsin DNR rules so nothing about the trip is based on an old limit.
