I would let the first few spots tell me what kind of day it is going to be with a little time spent on the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before I started running around looking for something better.
The species on record
For fishing, the current record for Lake Bingo shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which is enough for me to plan around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep the rest of the day loose.
What I would do first
If I were putting together a simple plan for Lake Bingo, I would fish a few sensible areas, remember where the life is, and stop forcing a pattern that is not there, and I would still look at the current Wisconsin regulations before fishing.
