I would start with a few obvious areas and make the lake prove I need more by giving the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach more than a couple of throwaway casts and if nothing happens, the next move should change the kind of water, not just the scenery.
The water-specific species list for Hopkins Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and that is enough to put some time into weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and find out which part of the species list is actually active that day.
For the opening trip to Hopkins Lake, I would make a short plan, fish it honestly, and change areas only when the water gives me a reason, then I would check the latest Wisconsin regulation details before the day starts.
