I would spend more time watching the water than changing baits with most of my time going to the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before changing five things at once and losing track of what actually mattered.
The fish list
I would not plan around one specific fish at Hegstrom Lake from the current record alone; for a first visit, i would keep the tackle flexible and avoid building the whole day around one species, and and see which part of the list actually shows up that day.
What I would try before anything fancy
If this were my day on Hegstrom Lake, I would make the day about finding one repeatable clue instead of collecting waypoints, and I would pull up the current Wisconsin fishing regulations before leaving home.
