For a new-to-me lake like this, simple beats clever by putting the first hour into shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because a few careful stops usually teach you more than a pile of random casts.
Fish tied to this lake
The present inventory shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch at Lake of the Woods; and that makes me think first about weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and leave room to adjust if the first idea is wrong.
How I would keep it simple
If I were headed to Lake of the Woods tomorrow, I would make every move change one big thing, like depth or cover, instead of just driving to another pretty spot, then I would read the current Wisconsin DNR rules so nothing about the trip is based on an old limit.
