I would avoid overthinking this one right out of the gate by making an honest pass along shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before I started digging through the tackle box for a magic answer.
At Jersey Valley Lake 8, the current fish record includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch; so I would keep the tackle centered on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and save the extra tackle until there is a reason to use it.
If I were starting from scratch on Jersey Valley Lake 8, I would keep one shallow option and one deeper option ready so the day does not depend on a single idea, and I would read the current Wisconsin rules once before the trip so there are no surprises.
