I would start with a few obvious areas and make the lake prove I need more by making an honest pass along the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would pay more attention to where the first bite comes from than what lure caught it.
Fish to think about
The water-specific species list for Lake Sixteen includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would keep the tackle centered on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep the first trip from getting too complicated.
Where I would put my time
For the opening trip to Lake Sixteen, I would keep one shallow option and one deeper option ready so the day does not depend on a single idea, and I would check the current regulations before keeping anything.
