I would start with a few obvious areas and make the lake prove I need more by checking what is happening around the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before I started running around looking for something better.
Fish to think about
The water-specific species list for Lake Burnita includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would make room in the tackle box for weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep the rest of the day loose.
Where I would put my time
For the opening trip to Lake Burnita, I would give the easy-to-read cover and depth changes a fair shot before trying anything fancy, and I would still look at the current Wisconsin regulations before fishing.
