I would rather learn one piece of this water than rush through ten and the first places I would give a fair shot are shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would keep whatever works instead of changing it just because the next spot looks different.
What swims here
Species already recorded for Kidney Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which makes it reasonable to try weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and give the plan a fair shot before abandoning it.
A simple way to approach it
For an uncomplicated day on Kidney Lake, I would bring a couple of dependable baits, fish the best-looking water I can reach, and pay attention to what the first few bites have in common, then I would make one last stop at the Wisconsin DNR rules before calling the trip ready.
