This Burnett County water is Larson Lake, a lake with the current lake record giving us about 30 acres and a maximum depth of 12 feet, so the size of the job is pretty easy to understand before you go.

I would make the first trip about learning the water, not conquering it with a little time spent on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before I spent the rest of the day chasing somebody else's old fishing report.
What you can fish for
For this exact water, the recorded fish are Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would build the first part of the day around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and let current conditions settle the details.
Keeping the first trip simple
If a buddy asked me how to start on Larson Lake, I would fish a few sensible areas, remember where the life is, and stop forcing a pattern that is not there, then I would confirm the current Wisconsin rules for the species I plan to target.
