I would spend more time watching the water than changing baits and the first places I would give a fair shot are the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would pay more attention to where the first bite comes from than what lure caught it.
The fish list
The fish currently listed for Goose Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; which makes it reasonable to try weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and leave room to adjust if the first idea is wrong.
What I would try before anything fancy
If this were my day on Goose 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 check the current regulations before keeping anything.
