If you are looking at Hunters Lake, you are looking at a Waukesha County lake with the available water data listing about 54 acres and a maximum depth of 36 feet, and those numbers are a useful reality check before you start making a fishing plan.

The first trip does not need a giant tackle plan and I would start where I can clearly see or understand shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because good fishing usually gets simpler once one clue starts repeating.
The fishery on paper
Recorded species at Hunters Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so the first few setups I pack would cover weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and stick with what produces signs of life.
My game plan
If I had a few hours to figure out Hunters Lake, I would fish the places that make sense for the species on the list and avoid chasing every rumor I heard online, and I would not rely on an old screenshot or somebody's memory for current limits.
