Fish in the current inventory
For Kangaroo Lake, the fish list currently includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; so I would spend the first serious effort on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and remember that a species list does not tell you exactly where the fish are.
A no-nonsense way to start
If I were taking a friend to Kangaroo Lake, I would fish what is in front of me instead of trying to make the lake match an old report, then I would verify the latest bag, size, and season information before fishing.
