I would avoid overthinking this one right out of the gate by checking shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and that is usually enough to tell you whether to stay shallow or start looking farther out.
At John Lake, the current fish record includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and I would let that list point me toward 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 John Lake, I would keep the trip flexible enough to move, but not so restless that I never learn a spot, and I would read the current Wisconsin rules once before the trip so there are no surprises.
